True but then the script needs to install its dependencies dynamically from a given host and hosts may have different configurations/network restrictions etc. Also, that'll result in scripts having to include their install related boilerplate which is besides the core functionality OR we need a separate script/stage that sets it all up. Admittedly these are solved problems but it all just feels a bit more messy compared to, say, a Go utility which can be just dropped and run.
