Hi,

Hi,
that's true but for the 1 Billion people that use Windows 10 and their number is always increasing, Windows store is a great place to host the extensions.
Edge is cross platform, correct, but on the desktop only mac and Windows have access to it.

  True, but it is upto the team. It is only possible after they integrate it with OS, probably with the shipping of version 2004 update.

    I don't think so. Windows store can receive updates on its own, Windows update can take care of the rest.
