Often I think some of that stuff is strategically made to be just good enough to discourage competition and so it never actually becomes good enough to be mainstream. Look at how WinGet was launched with just enough effort to kill AppGet. It was a big announcement that was the equivalent of “avoid this space or we’ll crush you” and then what? Nothing innovative has happened since they killed the innovator (AppGet).
