No, they won't and yes it is. The reason Linux has what it has in terms of support and actual dev interest in working on aspects closer to the core of an operating system is because there are no restrictions, whereas Windows is the opposite.

It would be pretty sweet if the Windows Store had open-ness closer to something like how Cydia was for iOS, and the same can be said about the Mac App Store but wee know that just ain't gonna happen. (Edit: That being said, the Play Store is pretty lenient about these things, what with Root programs and launcher replacements, so Google has a good example there.)

As for Windows productivity - do you really find it to be that much of an issue?
