Agreed powertoys should just be installed by default
PowerToys are basically functional tools that the Microsoft Engineers want to add but can't due to needing to convince the Product Manager that adding said functionality will increase the bottom line.
While I tend to agree, I feel the average user would just end up shooting themself in the foot with such tools readily available.
Yeah especially because they tend to add new features and enable them by default. I dislike having to use windows, but powertoys is where actual UX and power user improvements happen, so it's a must. But like if "auto dark mode" was turned on globally there would be people shooting their computers for being dark on their property
They don't have to be very visible to average users even if installed by default
True, could be a thing only easily accessible via command prompt..
