I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it.  According to 

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Store

it's quite complicated in terms of what sorts of apps it offers
and the (potentially many) platforms that they may have to be 
available for.

I have never in my life installed any software from such a store.
Instead, I find a product's website (or pages on eg Sourceforge)
download an installer and run it.  

I would be surprised if many of the current users of ooREXX are
used to the 'store'-based approach.

Maybe it's a good idea if we want to attract younger(?) users 
who are used to the 'store'?  But I wonder if offering ooREXX
that way might result in a lot of extra work?

I'm not clear whether, to find and install something from the MS
store, one needs a Microsoft Account.  I've never had one - always
giving that option a body-swerve when installing Windows.  I know
I'm not - by a long way - the only person who does not want to 
have to have such an account. 

Even if we did have ooREXX available that way, I would want it to 
be available in a traditional manner too.
