If you go the unofficial way you can use chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/). I am very happy with it ( so does it my 9 years old son)

That depends on the personal curiosity of each person. In my case I have never have that itch and I have been using Linux since 97 when you had to partition your disk by hand.

Chocolatey looks nice actually. I might have had more fun on windows when I used it in the 90s if that had existed. I will keep it in mind in case I ever see a need for it, I imagine I could suggest it to some windows users.

Chocolatey/NuGet is great to use, and it's being added to Windows 10 by default. I use it pretty exclusively no for tool downloads.
