People shouldn't have to spend any time on this, at all. Very few people want ads for games or anything else than their operating system focus in their start menu. There should be at most a subtle opt-in option.

Why do you think the average person wouldn't want these popular apps a click away?

Is there some way I can opt out of "average person" justifications for crappy experiences? If I'm paying a niche price for a niche product I should expect more than "average".

I actually have yet to meet a person that plays Candy crush windows, and not for lack of hanging around non technical people.

Because if I want software to perform a particular action I will go looking at it. I don't want unwanted icons hanging around waiting for me to accidently click on them.

That's because you are not part of MS Store's target user segment.
