Wait, you lost me somewhere. The MS store didn't support the old way of doing things, people had to rewrite their software; yet iOS was... new as well? People had to start from scratch and so that worked?
iOS existed before the Microsoft Store. The apps developed were brand new. No backlash from a new SDK and platform.
Windows RT is closer to iPadOS though. For iPadOS, apps just worked since it’s based off of iOS.
The Microsoft Store only supported a new half-baked SDK that limited what applications were capable of. Developers already had Win32 apps and rewriting them with the new SDK seemed pointless just to support what seemed like a needless limitation.
