Because their app store sucks!

Install drivers per app store? Negative.

Install vlc per app store? Get a half assed "mobile" Version that lacks most Features.

But candy crush is already installed. Great!

Remember that you can't mod the games you get through the windows store either. (unless they changed that recently?)

They did not. In fact, Windows ships in S mode now, which means you can't install ANYTHING outside of the appstore. Not even Office downloaded directly from Office(dot)com. You can turn S mode off, for now, but you need to (and I'm not shittin you) install an app from the appstore that disables S mode. But not without confirming that you're serious several times, and read through fear mongering with a "you get viruses if you install outside the appstore" scare tactic.
