These are really good questions. I've never used Conveyor, but hoo boy I've run into a lot of the same problems with MSIX.

App Installer has a nice UX on the happy path, but then you quickly discover that it will just fail for a non-negligible percent of customers.

IMO it's not a coincidence that very few first-party teams distribute their software using MSIX outside the Store. MSIX outside the store is broken, and for whatever reason the team responsible for it doesn't seem to be addressing that.

We've got it pretty stable now, but it's taken a lot of effort. There are a few cases where Win32 changes its behavior if you're packaged, but that's unfortunately the case on every OS. Some Apple APIs work differently if you're in bundle context too, also depending on whether the app is signed.
