The amount of Redmond's astroturfing is ridiculous. One cannot even install one's appx on one's own machine unless one signs it with a real certificate. Even Sinclair ZX80 could do that. Appx cannot.

You have to toggle your machine to developer mode first, but you absolutely can.

If you could, it would create an attack vector. From a security point, it's the right way to do things.
