First, winget doesn't ship with Windows. We don't need to arbitrarily add a dependency. In many enterprises, winget isn't allowed at all, which would create a blocking barrier for nearly half of the NVM4W community. Bottom line: winget is a convenience, not a default. We don't support it, but someone is maintaining a winget release.

With Runtime, we will release on several distribution channels. Winget is one of the channels we'd like to release on.
