due to the complications and multiple possible configurations for installing moonlight depending on the OS, video backend (mesa vs legacy), hardware (pi, tegra, other arm hardware), and display servers (X11/wayland) all requiring different setups I don't think this is viable for inclusion in pi-apps.

Maybe in the distant future if we only support PiOS bookworm and newer on wayland only clients with only pi4 and newer and moonlight-qt for raspberry pis is updated to support this we can think about adding it.

As of now none of that is not the case so this just isn't feasible. It is a great application when you have it setup, we just can't include it for the above reasons.
