> We decided against a checkbox because users already have too many checkboxes, and mostly don't understand any of them.
How did you decide that it was too many? Also, if users don't understand any of them, what's the big deal about one more checkbox?
This was a bad decision IMO and it's the kind of thing that is causing nobody to use UWP. There are so many stories out there of people trying to use UWP for their project and then turning back when they realize how restricted the sandbox is.
Honestly, doesn't it seem a bit absurd that UWP apps can talk to anything else on my network except for Win32 processes on my own computer?
If Windows Phone were a thing, I'd probably be building UWP apps already. Mobile devices are the only place where I accept these types of restrictions, but it's mostly because I have no choice. If Microsoft comes out with a phone that can run Win32 apps, I'd switch to that in a heartbeat because then I could get full Chrome with extensions and I'd be able to do things like run uBlock, quick javascript switcher and all my other favorite extensions. (Yay freedom!)
