I suspect that if Daniel could answer this again he would not use the phrase 'Windows-ism' because everytime this comes up (usually every 4-6 months) people always get caught up on that one part. His basic answer is that it is better to install apps from a centralized store that can be monitored and offers better security for the user, rather than installing apps peicemeal through downloads. Every modern OS, including mobile ones, have been switching over to this model over the last few years. Consider Android, you can install apps from unknown sources outside Google's app store, but only after jumping through hoops to prove you know what you're doing. The team at elementary OS has made similar decisions to protect inexperienced users from making a mistake with their computer.
Now obviously you can still install.deb files (either via your terminal or Eddy) but the point IS to make you work for it. There is such a thing as making something more secure by your default choices, again consider Google and how they will begin to mark http sites as insecure in Chrome in the coming months.
Think of it like this. Many casual users who have a Windows computer will probably not know how to install software from the internet, and might get someone from their family to do so. But they do, however, know how to go into the app store that came with whatever OS they're on(like Android or iOS, just like Windows and Mac) and install software off of the app store.
I know some people like this, particularly older people. Meanwhile, those who know how to download things off the internet(web browser) will probably know to get.deb or snapd files and will know that you need an app to manage and install those files. It's not as out-of-the-box as Windows or Mac, but it's kind of like Android where you would have to go out of your way to activate that feature. That would be nice, but you just don't.
Here's an idea: an Elementary User Repository, Arch-style. Guess it could be a separate tab in the app store, with a 'this software is maintained and vetted by the community'-type disclaimer, or whatever.
I wonder how many newbies give up on elementary when they can't figure out how to install Chrome. If they can't figure out how to install Chrome, they probably won't miss Chrome's dev tools, but they might still need some Chrome extensions, syncing across devices, etc. Epiphany is a sad trombone experience. I just 'sudo apt install./whatever.deb' in the terminal. It's more to keep people out of trouble, but thankfully they don't make it too hard to use debs not in store. It's a good balance in my opine. The only irk I've had with the store though is that to disable auto updating on my laptop, I had to jump through several hoops.
On my laptop, I prefer a python script I made that asks me if I want to update on login (in case I just want to get to work instead) and if so uses apt-fast to pull everything down quicker than the store seems to.
