Yup. Every time you install something outside of the Microsoft store it
brings up a warning pop-up. There is a toggle to remove it.

It is not massively different from having to enable the "restricted" repos
in Linux for installing things like nvidia drivers and mp3 playback.

Actually, the "non-free" ("restricted") repos are usually marked as such
because the software contained therein does not have a "free" (libre)
license. Although, you really only run into this if you choose to use
distributions that put an effort into segregating packages like that
(Debian used to); OR if you're using "OEM Media" to install the initial
system image.
