That's definitely true for more complex apps, but the fact that you can have the executable and all it's resources in one `.app` file is so much simpler and easier for the everyday user. (Yes I know it's a folder that the OS treats as an application, but to a user it looks like one file)
I go back and forth between Windows/Mac/Linux on the daily (right tool for the right job) and each has some strengths. App packaging is far and away one of Mac's current strengths.
I maintained Nativefier (a now defunct open source project that would package web sites as Electron apps) and the ease of packaging an app was Mac > Windows > Linux.
