To be honest, the Microsoft store was the biggest single impediment to success the project ever had. All of the ridiculous UWP requirements or exceptions and friction to install doomed it, start menu tile be damned.

And the start menu tile BS wasn't impactful except for the narrowly avoided multibillion dollar GDPR fine Facebook almost fell headfirst into when they declared "mission accomplished" and I realized they forgot the apps existed and escalated, just before the deadline.

I deserved a bonus for finding that, yet it didn't even register on my PSC.
