Windows 11 Store will install just about any app these days, and just about anyone can throw random EXE or MSI installers on to it. It's undead these days. It is no longer quite a curated experience: towards the end of Windows 10 Store you at least knew if you installed from the Store it would uninstall cleanly without hassle (towards the beginning of the Store there were more guarantees than just that, but MSIX eventually compromised on all of them until clean uninstall was the last remaining guarantee). But in Windows 11 there's just about nothing that you can't install from the Store rather than needing to google on the bings for a random OEM website and find the EXE or MSI file to install. (The Store basically does that googling on the bings for you and saves you a step or two.) That leaves me with the question of what S Mode is for in Windows 11 if the Store now includes all the random EXEs and MSIs, and all of their legacy of dirty installs/potential for adware/malware and other issues? The FAQ doesn't appear to answer that. In Windows 10 for a time I could tell a grandparent or non-computer savvy person to switch to S Mode and not have to worry as much about coming by with a malware/adware scanner at regular intervals. I don't have any confidence I can do that with Windows 11.
