I think they are getting bit by their wishes to make it both perfect and backwards compatible at the same time.

Even a janky port of RPM or DPKG or OCI with cgroups would have been a better way to move forward. But because MS doesn't have the tools, the ecosystem or the willpower to drop legacy methods and create a proper self-hosting toolbox OS they will never get there.

"Enterprise Development" is the antithesis of successful packaging. Even Apple's half-assed PAX+Shellscripts method (.pkg) is decades ahead of whatever MS keeps pulling out of their hat.
