For myself , bloatware and the movement away from standard win32 applications. UWP is a controlled application package with microsoft implementing there own DRM and control. whilst personally i think it fine for Xbox unification and the mobile space , it has been proven to encroach on everything enthusiasts love and use windows for. Its excellent for cross platform tittles such as Forza as it helps development and bring across tittles that wouldnt have normally been on the PC, it has also been proven in this regard to be another way of controlling software managment and introduces another way of microsoft generating revenue. But having said that, HALO coming to steam indicates microsofts willingness to offer choice. With maxon siding with a one store policy before the Uturn it had taken away choice .
Windows store isnt inherintly bad. But with microsofts constant battle to control software it is them we do not trust not inherintly UWP. unfrotunatly because of there OG stance on the Xbox one , and with developers pushing the store without other choice it reinforces the nature of the beast. I will not use the store incase of the position of market dominance and therefor anti consumer practices being brought more and more without U-Turns or consumer confidence.
