Nope, it's much more insidious than that. The user is already on your website, which could be a legitimate website with a malicious owner.

If you look at the screenshot, it's a perfectly valid interpretation for a non tech-savvy user to interpret that as "realhealthysnacks is asking me to install a legitimate Microsoft application".

Now change the simplified example for a real one from a SaaS product login page with several "Login with ..." buttons, and one of them triggers this.
