You can compile a static binary or distribute a private copy of libraries, but it doesn't get you integrated into the system. For example, your app will not be upgraded using a package manager.
And main reason for this is because package managers were not designed for third-party software. They were designed only to install software from a distribution and maybe from your private repositories.
That makes proprietary software "not welcome" in Linux distributions.
