You would need to reverse engineer the Xbox software yourself (breaking the EULA, although not like MS can take you to court unless you redistribute) and then repackage it (as the MS Store doesn't download the whole app package, just the parts it needs), in the proper format needed to install on your Windows 10 system (as the original package would only have for Xbox, not PC). If you got the AppX (basically the modern msi) you could sideload it on PC, and it might be able to run natively (no emulator), but there's no known legal way to get that AppX file.

The publisher essentially just chose not to release it on PC. They use the exact same Microsoft Store on both PC and Xbox. There might be some Xbox-specific APIs but I believe these fail silently on PC, so it might run but not be as stable. Xbox games from 2016-present are technically very similar to Windows 10 UWP apps. Everything here is my assumptions based on my own knowledge and some basic info on their dev sites, this could be incorrect, but for most part should give you a basic idea of how complex this is.
