Yes, it is often hidden by IDE but it is still a commandline program
which requires cmd.exe but this is explicitely forbidden in the S
mode. Thus the IDE can work if installed from the MS Store but TeX
will never run in it. A user will have to decide, either S mode or TeX
but not both. MiKTeX will have the very same problem.

There may be free services for running TeX, I think that TeXonWeb is
still free and has complete TeX Live installed but internet connection
can be expensive for some people.
