Your use case

The title describes my desire. My rationale is available at https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows95/issues/221#issue-833287302.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Yes: .APPX, which is .MSIX's predecessor. Even its predecessor, MSI. Neither are superior.

Doesn't look like electron-builder supports msix.

I suggest moving your request there https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc+msix

Also .msix can use Appcontainer to support app sandbox.
