I had to dig through the website shoving paid services down my throat and found the script builder, is that what you mean? If yes, I can see it generate either a command using chocolatey, or a config file (to feed chocolatey?), which seems to require me to install chocolatey manually first.
Looks like it doesn’t meet the basic requirement of being a standalone script, and requires you to do extra setup first. I’m also very much not a fan of the website so far, but I can give it a pass since ninite being opinionated in the package choice is a subjective thing.
Making a script that automatically installs chocolatey (using the method described on the website) and then runs the installs is trivial. (I know cuz for a long time I used such a script)
Chocolatey was literally mentioned, and it can do exactly this

You could also just use winutil https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil Which has a bunch of other neat things for initial setup too.
