I’m still in awe that windows has had similar functionality available at a single press of the windows key, but you still can’t do basic arithmetic on it.

The launcher included in PowerToys (called Run utility[0]) does support arithmetic. Sure, it's an extra thing to install, but it's first-party at least.

Most Microsoft keyboards have a dedicated calculator key, which I personally find more efficient, and you can bind it to your preferred calculator app.
