I'm still super annoyed that the solution to "dynamically resolving dependencies is a PITA" became "just make a monolithic app and pray for no external dependencies/conflicts". Windows figured this out ages ago. You ship DLLs with your app, you keep them in the same directory, and run your app wherever, but update it incrementally. Now your user doesn't need to download a 120MB file every time there is a one-line change. Wrapping this pattern in a ZIP file that can be executed directly (another Windows-ism) basically gives you everything you want from a static app, but adds the ability to inspect and patch components. Why does nobody use this method?
