The problems you're describing are technically problems of apps, not really problems of Windows (any more). Yes arguably the line is blurred, you can say this is a pedantic distinction because Windows = the apps that people use. But the tech is there.
MSIX indeed picks the install path for you but very few users want to change it these days. Chrome installer doesn't let you pick either.

Neither does the existence of other bad apps like Chrome shield the new system from the blame for making the same obvious mistake, especially when the example of macOS with its simple bundled app folders that you can just drag&drop around has been right there the whole time
