I don't quite agree. These days (as of .NET 5), if you publish a single-file app all .NET libraries live in the executable and do not need to be unpacked at runtime. Native libraries still need to get unpacked at runtime (if your application uses any; many don't) but I haven't found that to be a big deal in practice.
