You're acting like it was perfectly normal and expected for music CDs to include an installer for a CD player app. But it wasn't; essentially any computer that had a CD-ROM drive had the ability to play music CDs with no software installation needed, the same as any computer with a floppy drive had the ability to load files from disk. Yes, some CDs shipped with branded player software anyway; this was all useless advertising shovelware even when it didn't also contain harmful rootkits.
