Agreed. BTW if you're looking for a apt/brew like experience on Windows proper, try chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/ https://chocolatey.org/ (Obviously there's also the Windows store, which is not bad for GUI programs, but for more developer-type stuff - e.g. installing python - chocolatey is great.)

  It's a different use case - use Chocolatey to manage native windows installers - it's more like brew casks.

Scoop is a good option too IMO.

I prefer scoop myself. Everything is isolated to the users profile. Check it out. https://scoop.sh/ https://scoop.sh/
