Why Get-AppxPackage | Select-Object Name is empty string in loop?

Question

PowerShell

Hello! There is the following cycle

for ($i = 0; $i -ile 2; $i++){
  Start-Sleep(4)
  Get-AppxPackage | Select-Object Name
}

Why is the result of execution at the zero iteration Get-AppxPackage | Select-Object Namean empty string, although the rest of the iterations work properly? Without Select-Object or without a loop, everything works fine, but I need to output exactly for a specific field in the loop.

If I understood the question correctly, then this is how it seems to work as you need.

for ($i = 0; $i -ile 2; $i++){
  Start-Sleep(4)
  #$i
  (Get-AppxPackage).Name
}
