Is it still that bad? I haven’t used Windows since 7, I just assumed at some point in the zillion pivots since then MS would take a cue from macOS and make installing apps as easy as a click or drag-dropping a single “file”. It couldn’t possibly be a huge design or engineering feat to copy. Do people who use Windows just actually prefer installers?
