They install in AppData to get around IT admin blocks. Unless a sysadmin has the tech available to operate on a whitelist only basis (which not everyone does - it’s super expensive), you can be certain that at least some users have things like Spotify installed illicitly.
And this is why having a solid working relationship between all levels of IT and your users are so important. It really is customer service first, tech second. If your users trust you as the IT admin, they’ll know to ask first before downloading AppData installers like this before they become a job ending issue for them.
