"apt install " is just so much nicer than running some weird installer.

also it makes it easier to have an overview over what programs are actually installed on the system. and you can easily set up a computer to have certain packages installed by just giving it a list of package names.

The thing with winget, i believe, I that when installing non-MS store programs, you still have to go through the program's installer.

Whereas you don't need to look at an installer with apt or similar
