I think you're right on the money. There seems to be a component of enticing power users to stick with Windows as well. The app is still "in beta" despite the first release being in 1996 (!). I had to look that up, because I'd only heard about it in the early windows 10 days.

The first version of PowerToys was released for Windows 95 on 17 November, 1996 as a download on Microsoft's FTP server at the time.

Well wadaya knows?

I like that it wasn't a proper installed thing, just a bunch of executables in a zip file.
