Windows installation instructions seem miss-prioritized

Describe the Enhancement
The promoted method of downloading and installing on Swift for Windows directs folks to a separate page on how to setup WinGet and install Swift via CLI instead of just providing them with the GUI installer. For a normal user, downloading and running the installer is a normal workflow, as seen with other languages and programs like Python, Rust, Go, etc...
WinGet is great for Automation, so it should be , but the default should be the simplest option.
- Go to swift.org
- Click on 'Download'
- Scroll down to 'Windows'
Describe the solution you'd like
The main download link should be a one-click to the Windows installer (like with Python, Rust, Go, etc...). WinGet is great for automation, so it definitely should get a call-out that it's an option, but we should promote the easiest solution for folks, not a solution that requires a separate page to describe what is going on (Installation via Windows Package Manager) as it makes Swift look hard to install.
One of the biggest advantages of WinGet over Scoop and running the installer is that it can handle VS installation in a more handy way. This is helpful for users that have not installed VS before, and they won't be bothered by why the Swift toolchain cannot function when it seems to be installed correctly.
