When we are thinking about simple installation process, you are completely right! However, when creating Luna, we were aware that if it will be used in real-world environment and people will create big projects using it, we would need to handle installation and updating in a very careful way. So our "installer" allows you to install and manage many Luna versions side-by side and switch between them on demand. So if something stopped working after an update, you can be sure that switching to previous version would work. These kind of tasks are handled by Luna Manager currently, which is connected to the simple Electron GUI. So even if we provide such "native" installation functionality, we would need some lightweight gui system if we would like to keep this secure installation management. We will definitely look for more lightweight solutions here.
