Your question was very unspecific and broad, and despite that, now it goes into a direction I have not foreseen. Your question would have been much more useful and you would have received a lot better answers if you had provided some context, established a premise, been more specific about what you’re asking.
You asked about PC. Given that Windows is the prevalent PC operating system, I’ll answer for that.
While Windows has a Microsoft Store app store now, traditionally and still prevalent, most software and applications is installed and managed not through this “app store”, but manually or with other non-OS-integrated software.
I feel like the premise of the question is from a very different understanding of how things work or are.
What this “app” thing you speak of?
@[email protected] the ones that you get from the appstores…

@[email protected] windows is the prevailing operating system, yes…
Now imagine a world where you have no access to anything that’s proprietary, how would you survive in that case ??
Proprietary products are always produced according to the demands of the market, but your needs need not fit into the general demands always 😄😄😄😄😄

Pretty much the same as I do today.
Imagine a world where you don’t have access to mentionning users in every post, how would you survive?
@[email protected] appstores literally serve you everything on a plate 😄😄😄
Windows organise a grand buffet for you, but l wish to have the kitchen under my control 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Does that make any sense to you ???

A what store now? Like Lowe’s, Costco, or The Container Store?
@[email protected] any store… I mean apps downloaded from any store…
Why would you need to go to a store to download apps?
@[email protected] exactly… Whatever tools l require, l can access that from the terminal, right ??

Plenty of GUI apps in the repository.
Yeah I don’t use stores, sorry.
