Actually, yes, and it still might happen since this is an early look-see
at just the current GUI update direction and not the foundational
changes. What I suspect is that they will make significant
infrastructure changes that will put everything behind a pay wall, just
like Apple, disallowing sideloading of non- Windows Store software.
apple doesn't disallow non-store software and has stated on many
occasions that they aren't going to do that.
on the other hand, microsoft tried that with windows 10s, but had to backpedal and call it a 'mode' of win10.

Tim Cook has claimed in an interview with Brut that if Apple was forced
to allow sideloading of apps, as Android does, it would destroy security
and privacy of iOS.

Nospam is correct regarding non-app store applications. I think the aps
that came with my Mac are the only App Store protrams I have on the
system. Caveat: There may be an application on my Mac that was not in
the App Store at the time I installed it.
Similar to Windows File Manager. When I installed it, it was not in the Microsoft store, but it is available there now.
