It’s open source so you could try suggesting or adding features.

PowerToys Run is a great idea with some awful jank. One of the best things about Alfred is that it appears instantly when I hit the shortcut, every time. PowerToys Run just... don't appear sometimes. Or appears several seconds late.

weird, I use it a lot and it always seems super snappy for me

Best one I've found is https://keypirinha.com/ which can be expanded via Python plugins (if I remember correctly). It also have Everything integration.

The closed source core of that tool really makes me go "hmm". It's free, so does that mean my searches are being monetised somehow?

I quite like keypirinha https://keypirinha.com

development is slow but the dev is reachable and the tool does its job https://www.listary.com/
