Windows doesn’t have true package managers. It is honestly a lot like app images on Linux. They do work but the core design is very different due to Windows not being designed to work with a package manager.
On Linux App images are kind of like a exe except that Linux isn’t designed with stand alone executables in mind so doing seemingly simple things like integrating them with the OS is hard. It isn’t that they are bad but the design isn’t necessarily aligned with traditional Linux. Same thing with package managers on Windows. They just download a exe from a link and then run it. Package managers on Windows are just software updaters.

Yeah and chocolaty and winget are both still pretty new and not that popular
My point is that by design they will never be anywhere as good as a Linux package manager and that’s ok
