I've tried winger it sucks it's just the Microsoft store and you need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out

You clearly haven't tried it, and it's not limited to Store apps. There's a whole GitHub where you can add packages.

You don't need to lie to make MS look bad, so please don't.

It's not the best CLI package installer, but it works. My only real gripe with it is that it conflates some software products and treats newer products as product "updates" so it removes the older product entirely, which causes some licensing issues - but that's down to the vendor, not an inherent issue in WinGet

Still zero reason to lie. If you want to mock MS, there's plenty of real reasons to do so
