As one example (with a relatively trivial fix): the deep subfolder it gets installed in can cause path length issues [0]. There's a trivial fix (registry edit) to enable long paths, but that's not very user friendly. This affected me immediately--the first package I tried to install failed (possibly htop? I can't remember anymore...) apt installs packages for the system as a whole. Microsoft store does not. [0] https://bugs.python.org/issue37769 https://bugs.python.org/issue37769
