Scoop is irrelevant  #641

Description

It doesn't make sense for Winget to coexist in a user interaction enhancement project on Winget in tandem with some other thing.

Scoop is unique in what it does, but those two programs (Winget and Scoop) work in very different ways to achieve a similar goal. Aggregating package managers will ultimately hinder the long-term potential of what the WingetUI project could grow to be. With scoop out of the way, it could focus on being a one-stop-shop for the graphical management of software, an installer, an updater, an uninstaller, for everything on the computer, an enhanced version of the MSStore, literally. And then there's Scoop, a powerful niche Chocolatey/Winget alternative. It doesn't do UAC, and it has some software Winget doesn't (and vice versa, but besides the point). It extracts the installers; it has its own portable-like folder for its apps. It's a different thing, should be irrelevant, imho.
