For Windows/macOS, wouldn't just shipping the copies in the binary packages be enough? I wouldn't have thought having copies in the source repo would be needed. I believe there are package managers for Windows/macOS too, you could just direct users to installing via those.

With my limited experience with the MS Store, yes for Windows you prepare your package the way you want, installing dependencies separately (the version that works best), either with dynamic linking or static linking. No need to copy the source code in the main git repo (in that case).
