I apologize if I'm having a linux user™ moment, but why are windows users so insistent on using the most inconvenient and insecure way of installing software?

Edit: I probably should've worded this less condescendingly, but it's a genuine question. I just don't get why some people are so attached to portable installers.

The Store does not work as good as the equivalent in Linux. Updating is often not as straightforward as it could be and sometimes not working at all. Applications with built in update routines handle it a lot better.

Plus a dash of scepticism towards trusting Microsoft with a storefront on top.
