Unpacking Endpoint Management: The future of app management in Intune

The question I'm seeing coming up time and time again is about the Company Portal and consistency of installation. While delivery during ESP is still being worked on, it can quite often take significant time for the Store to update and the App Installer to register itself before any new Store app type apps install. This is made worse if you're blocking user access to the store via the "Use Private Store Only" policy where you can't even see if it's trying to update the in-box apps. Is there any upcoming improvements or tips to make this more consistent?

We have some intune managed devices and figured out on how we can provide the Store Apps to those devices. But the main part of our devices are managed through MECM and are azure ad hybrid joined. They are not managed with intune! How can we provide managed Store Apps to these users? Where does the user picks his App for installation if there is no Store? And how does it work with apps, which have dependencies to Drivers (i.e. NVIDIA Control Panel)? Will they install the App automatically if available, or do we have to push them to the specific devices?

Microsoft Store App (new) - do win32 apps (auto) update like UWP apps? Within Intune a new type of app 'Microsoft Store app (new)' can be deployed. Most apps are UWP apps but some are Win32. Do these win32 apps update themselves in the same way as UWP apps, though Windows update/Winget? Are these apps updated through another mechanism, if so, how? If they are not updated, will this be a feature in the future? I know I can update apps in a variety of ways, inclusing 'winget --upgrade' but these are manual/scripted solutions. And yes, I am aware that the win32 type is still experimental ;) A colleague of mine also has asked the question on the winget github: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/discussions/2875

Will the Microsoft 365 Apps be better managed through the new store? The current implementation isn't very good, and relying on the pre-installed versions with no way to controll eula through settings only makes app-managing it crucial.

Several MS applications are missing from the integration, such as Minecraft Education Edition. Will these be added or are we still going to have to create intunewin packages for most real world applications?
