This block of text:

The WindowsPowerShell adapter instance defines a single property, resources, as an array of resource instances. In this configuration, it defines two instances:

• The first instance uses the PSRepository PSDSC resource from the PowerShellGet module to make sure the PowerShell Gallery is available for use as a repository.
• The second instance uses the PSModule PSDSC resource from the same module to make sure that the Microsoft.WinGet.Client module is installed.

Does not appear to make sense when considering the example DSC config yaml in the doc:

$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
resources:
- name: Example registry key 
  type: Microsoft.Windows/Registry
  properties:
    keyPath: HKCU\dsc\example\key
    _exist:  true
- name: PSDSC resources
  type: Microsoft.Windows/WindowsPowerShell
  properties:
    resources:
    - name: DSC_EXAMPLE env variable
      type: PSDesiredStateConfiguration/Environment
      properties:
        Name: DSC_EXAMPLE
        Ensure: Present
        Value: Set by DSC

If I'm reading the config example correctly, we're merely checking for an environment variable, not for PowerShell Gallery repository installation and WinGet module installation.
