Lame? Mounting a DMG is no different from unpacking an archive, but unlike self-extracting executables this operation is 100% safe since no code gets to run. This is much better than "Are you fucking insane to run this?!" scary dialog boxes that Windows throws at you when you click on a downloaded .exe. Do you know how many people actually do get scared and delete your precious app instead?
Second, inside of a .dmg you normally find an application bundle that you simply copy into your Applications folder. What can possibly be simpler than copying a file?
