winget show displays only one scope (user) if multiple options are available

Relevant area(s)

WinGet CLI

Relevant command(s)

winget show

Brief description of your issue

I didn't know that a package supported the --scope option. Only by going to the .installer.yaml file in the winget-pkgs repository did I see that it does. Why does winget show only list one installer with the url of the user installer?

Why not instead make winget show without any options list all available installers, or just instead of a specific installer URL list options that are available: user, system. And you could pass --scope to winget show to get the information about a specific installer.

Steps to reproduce

Run winget show on any package with both a user and system installer.

Expected behavior

It doesn't confuse.

Actual behavior

The end of the output is:

Installer:
  Installer Type: some_type
  Installer Locale: some-locale
  Installer Url: some_url
  Installer SHA256: some_hash
  Release Date: some_date
  Offline Distribution Supported: true

Environment

Winget version v1.28.220

WinGet Show is returning a subset of metadata of which "installer" would be selected by WinGet if the command would have been "Install". There is an installer selection flow to determine what WinGet would do. We will likely need to build something to expose the manifest in a more complete way.
