I'm really sorry, I usually respect your opinion, and I really want to keep it this way. But this is FUD and conspiracy theory level of thinking. You've convinced yourself of a narrative and are literally grasping at straws to try and make the reality fit that narrative.
Reality: Google and Microsoft aren't pushing for App Store like solutions on Windows. Google has literally no stake in that argument, Microsoft has an App Store and it's basically abandoned.

Reality: Even *if* they were trying to push for an App Store solution, wtf, do you really think the way they would go at it is "add a bypassable warning when downloading bins that have never been seen on the internet"? Look at Apple for how companies with that aim operate.

Apple wants to push an App Store on MacOS, so they: 1. Started requiring developer registration, annual fee, and code signing. Years ago. 2. Started mandating binaries pre-upload (notarization) and stamping by Apple. Why would Microsoft follow such a long winded road?!
