I hope your team is out of politics
Doesn't seem to be political, you can find the addition of the section in packagechooser.conf in the github repo dated January 26th, so it seems to be an honest mistake.
- How would I make a calamares installer for my own arch distro?

ClickOnce
I never had much luck with ClickOnce, so I was using Squirrel.Windows. I've recently switched to the Clowd.Squirrel fork, since I needed support for AzureSignTool in the build process.

Any sufficiently advanced uninstaller is indistinguishable from malware
As soon as Office 2007 didn't use MSI the format was doomed.
I assume the Here in NIH refers to an individual team, not MS as a whole.
Teams is entirely NIH https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows for updates to the Electron app.
I would use winget, but MS made it weirdly hard to run as a script on multiple computers, it installs per user, because... who knows.
So still using chocolatey

Compose Multiplatform 1.2 Is Out: New Mouse and Keyboard APIs, ProGuard Support, Online Updates
Electron does have auto-update built in (Squirrel), but it comes with severe non-price related caveats. Squirrel is only intermittently maintained and goes through long periods in which the different versions are abandoned (see for Windows, macOS). People have requested a switch to Sparkle on macOS, which is what Conveyor uses, but with no response. There's also the issue that their update solutions require interactive servers but the only free one is restricted to open source projects, and isn't itself open source. The Electron website points you towards a variety of projects if you want to run your own server but all of them are (again) abandoned for years.

How to disable discord from trying to update after reboot?
Discord in the Task Manager can sometimes show up as "Update", made by GitHub, because Discord uses a program, that GitHub / their devs were/are involved with making, to update the app, and some kind of bug happens that means it doesn't display as 'Discord'.
