Winget is just garbage.

The simplest possible install scenario would be: unzip this file, and add to path.

To uninstall: delete this folder.

Microsoft's solution [0]: if your app is in a zip file, repackage it as a msix/whatever proprietary technology.

To this day, you still can't update, or even uninstall stuff with winget.

But guess what it had baked in since day one (literally the third commit) [1]?

Telemetry.
