> GitHub, OS and free package managers... I take your point, but if you download executables from Github using Chrome, IE or Edge, you're still going to get a warning when it's deemed "uncommon".

There is chocolatey and scoop, but I find chocolately a bit of a mess (e.g. duplicates, never certain which is the "main" download), and while scoop is good, the selection is still relatively small. These are also only really used for OSS software, which doesn't help ISVs.
