WinGet is just a repo with installers of the programs listed, but dependency managing and installation it self is handled by the installers, not winget.
(Don't know if the ms-store package format isn't exception to that, but still)
That's great that microsoft calls it that, but that doesn't really matter.
Winget is just as much a package manager, as the "add or uninstall apps" tab in windows settings is.
It's just a interface. But the actual act of installing is done by different program.
Package manager role is, well, managing packages.
