Every OS ... except Windows?

Well, there's Chocolatey but that comes with its own set of quirks.
Didn't Windows 10 get PackageManagement FKA OneGet? I mean I haven't upgraded because of privacy, but at least it exists.
Interesting, TIL. I wonder how complete it is. E.g. how much work until you have python and pip? gcc? An SMTP Server? A web server?
Windows Store?
From a user's perspective maybe (although I find the usefulness of that thing highly questionable on a current Windows 10 computer, it doesn't even have a touch friendly official youtube app last time I checked). But from a dev's perspective, i.e. getting the tools to develop something? Nah, not even close.
