End-users are still more familiar with a download link on a website for a exe/dmg installer on desktop.
You also need to need to redo your subscription/payments to support the stores and give a percentage of your revenue to Apple/Microsoft. On mobile you have no option but on desktop it's hard to justify giving up so much of your profit margin when there's a popular alternative.
BTW, Linux has the Snap Store.

- heavyset_go 6y agoAll of the non-technical people I know are capable of installing software on desktop computers without using app stores.
