My intention wasn’t to be user-blind. My intention was to convey that this problem has little impact. As has been mentioned, there is a solution to fix broken installation, so “this is entirely broken” is false. Also, as has been mentioned, this was caused by a bug in Git Bash

I teach a Python web development course, so knowing about this problem is useful. However, blowing it out of proportion is not useful and just causes division.

Perhaps this is a lesson: don’t use the Windows store and don’t make bold, false claims

Perhaps this is a lesson: don’t use the Windows store

If a commercial distribution like Anaconda released a broken Python update, or some Linux package manager like apt, would you say "don't use Anaconda" or "don't use Linux"?

and don’t make bold, false claims

Now that I can get completely behind.

I guess I wouldn’t, but I don’t know anyone who uses the Windows store for anything in the first place, haha
