It's kinda good too. It makes the store unviable and thus makes local installations still a very legit requirement. Which leads to less Microsoft control over what you do with your PC, and more user freedom. It also means using your computer without a Microsoft account is still a thing.
If it had really taken off they could be free to block installers like iOS does. Or at least make it difficult to do so like macOS.
