It is still a fully fledged x86-64 Windows. You can install literally any program designed to work on Windows, legacy or not.
It is still Windows, only they have stripped out everything non essential for reliability for high uptime, think ATM machines. This would be like saying Gentoo or Arch isn’t designed to be used on home PCs.
You can install the MS App Store and Xbox app, and others should you want to. It just doesn’t come with them. I have switched all my friends to this Windows and half of them use it with Xbox Games Pass, and one like the ease of getting everything from the MS App Store.
The common person might not want to use Linux for any number of reasons. This is as good as it can get for those who do not want to switch. Not wanting to switch is fine, and shouldn’t be shamed.
For privacy since it’s an Enterprise version, you can disable all built in telemetry. It just takes some entries in things like group policy and registry editor.
