Those things aren't it not working. They're just things you don't like. They all work.

The vast majority of users don't give a shit about manual os updates and just want it done. You can absolutely pause updates. I think by default it gives you two weeks before it starts complaining. So you just need to do your updates manually at a time that suits you.

Winget allows you to install a huge amount of software. It works as your central update location.

You can normally run uninstalls silently.

The default configuration is for an average user. It's can be customized quite a bit.

I find Linux users complaining about the default configuration funny.

Just a skill issue hehe
