The Windows app store also isn't very popular. I'd attribute that less to a sense of fairness and more to a way to drive adoption.

Microsoft has deployed all sorts of carrots and sticks to try to drive more adoption. In the early Windows 10 days, you could secure $500k-$2.5M in services investment even for internal apps at a not so huge scale.
