I mean... Windows is bad in many respects, but that respect isn't necessarily one of them.
idk man, it's pretty bad, there's winget, there;s chocolatey, and theres also microsoft store, and they're like, all different?
Oh and you can just install exes wildly like a rogue. Thats another option.
As opposed to having a bajillion specific distros, repos, and sources flying around...?
Obviously I'd never touch the Microsoft store though.
are you using three distros simultaneously? (there are also like three or four primary distros, anything else is just that but different) Repos are a non issue because you literally just add them to your repo list, and then they just show up under your package manager. Sources is a non issue given package managers, unless you're building from source, but that has nothing to do with it i suppose.
To my knowledge, everything i listed their is a separate package manager, managing packages in different ways. It'd be like running pacman, apt and dnf on one machine simultaneously. Which isn't possible unless you use void because you hate yourself. (jokes aside void does it a little differently)
