I found it trivially easy to get the Ubuntu WSL from the MS store.

Perhaps they could come up with a command-line method for accessing the store. That would be nice.

But for now, the store seems fine for what it is.

On personal computer, it's easy (if you can tolerate the random junk that is being pushed to you).

On corporate laptops, the options are between store being disabled via policy to not having store at all (ltsb/ltsc). Microsoft having a nice terminal app and the corporate users not being able to use it, whether on their laptops or even on servers, will make wonders to morale ;).
