Must be significantly harder to develop MS Store apps. Due to sandboxing limitations?

I suffered through this Store pain recently, after buying a $$ game from Microsoft: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/cant-install-forza-horizon-on... (11 things to try!)

Microsoft also had a separate EXE to download to try to repair things, along with wsreset, wscollect, etc. Far too complicated.

Microsoft publish two different editions of the Windows Minecraft launcher with different sets of features. One is the MS Store version and one is the regular version

Microsoft, the king of backward compatibility?

Tell me it is not true.
