On smartphones people are used to package managers already. Imagine everyone had to download the executables for every update for each app on their phone, going to their website downloading and such. That’s basically how Windows works. Such a Stone Age.

I think that is what they were going for. The article has some rationalizations for their decisions. I’m not their target audience but like you say I do see the appeal.
