Didn't help that they partnered with Amazon for it.And it's also not publicly available for everyone.Could be because, iirc, Amazon is starting to move away from Android.But third party app stores are so popular!If that's a dig at the recent Apple vs. EU, you've missed the point completely.I never even knew this was a thing until now.And by default, it's only available on 11. What percentage if the user base has switched. You can run WSA on Win10, there's a github for it.Doesn’t help either, that most Android apps are designed for touch screens and most windows machines don’t have one. Also, when I tried it it was somewhat slow.
