If you want to use X version of a program rather than what your distro ships then it's a shitshow unless it's available as an appimage or something. Flatpak/snap are shit.
For all its problems, it's trivial to use a windows machine fully offline, including installing new software from backups.
If you don't want a program to update, it won't.
If you want to use software that was abandoned a decade ago that few people have ever heard of,, you can.
And you don't have to rely on the (hopefully) good intentions and capabilities of strangers like with the AUR.
The big problem with windows is mainly that many of its default behaviors are shit, especially in consumer editions of windows. But windows is very customizable through regedit and gpedit.
