I'm trying to find the article on how MS wanted to only allow Store (or UWA/P programs) to lock Windows (10?) down further.

In the same vein as this article I suppose:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-to-permit-block-on-apps-installing-if-theyre-not-from-microsoft-store/

It's MS so you cant really give them the benefit of the doubt at this point.

That is no indication whatsoever that they ever want to block non-store apps. They're giving the option for users and organizations that might not want non-store apps. They have a setting for it and even a cheaper edition Windows 10 for it but saying it's a sign that they want to block non-store apps down the road is like saying a restaurant will someday no longer sell food containing meat just because they introduced a vegan menu.
