I do, we could stop separating binaries from the associated other files they require in order to work. That is an artifact of how UNIX was originally implemented that is irrelevant today. Case in point: the existence of containers, flatpak, AppImage, and other such things that do exactly that! Not to mention all the operating systems, like Windows and Mac, that always worked that way.
