We've been doing some work in WinGet with respect to packages that allow different versions to be installed side-by-side. If you are interested, you could try our latest preview release of WinGet and enable the experimental feature.

WinGet 1.8 now supports uninstalling a specific version of an application when more than one is installed side-by-side.
