The way how downgrading works depends on your current installation of MC. - If the game was unpackaged then the launcher needs to download the entire game. - If the game is packaged then the launcher performs in place downgrade and only downloads a subset of the game. The second method is bandwidth efficient since it knows what parts of the game needs to replaced for downgrading.

Microsoft Store = Packaged. What methods, the launcher uses to downgrade shouldn't matter unless https://discord.com/channels/1049946152092586054/1405444757781610566 concerns you.
