Currently we directly open the windows store app whenever a site navigates to ms-windows-store://. This was introduced in Bug 866065. For the macOS app store, we don't have any exceptions and always show the permission prompt and the application chooser.
I propose we streamline this behavior for both MacOS and Windows. For both protocols we should skip the application chooser and only show the permission prompt. This is a good tradeoff between UX and security. This also adopts the behavior of chromium browsers.
See screenshots attached.

We could also preload open-protocol-handler permissions for the MacOS and Windows app store sites and only show the permission prompt for third party sites.
