The proposed solution (changing getInstalled()) is not enough to cover

API, leaking implementation details will likely not help.
How does this affect launch()?
If I do a getAll(), end up with apps that are only in the registry but
not on the host OS, what wil app.launch() do? Re-install it natively and
launch it? fail?
I disagree that we are leaking any implementation details. If there are
a significant number of platforms that, while implementing the spec
correctly, lead to a broken user experience, then the spec needs to be
fixed. I believe this is currently the case (i.e. we cannot implement a
good user experience on Android and Desktop without this feature).
The point is that they are not implementing the spec correctly.
