It does a lot more than it's told and you know that

All different tasks under the umbrella of "install this software". I don't understand the relevance.

Ideally, yes. Whatever you want. Not whatever bad actors want.

So Windows will install malicious software and Linux won't...? Even if you tell it to? No.

The answer is the file extension doesn't do anything

Again I don't understand the relevance.
