It makes it simple to fulfil copyleft obligations to distribute source. Also helps avoid losing source to old programs - a custom vending machine firmware I know embeds source. It would be cool if someone made a cargo-quine rust crate that bundled and compressed everything for a --source argument, maybe with "cargo vendor" as an option. Probably not _that_ much extra program size.
