Good philosophy!

> Every application comes in its own directory that can easily be “managed” using the file manager, no need for package managers

Didn't catch just how it works, but makes me think of GoboLinux [1]. (Oh, there's a 2020 release of GoboLinux.) Is it not a bad idea to use .app when macOS already does? Perhaps .program would fit. Or could they be compatible so one .app runs on both operating systems?

Did...did they just invent statically-linked app tarballs?

How about we sandbox every app inside its own Docker container, just to be sure?

You should read the project page before commenting. Nothing in Gobolinux is statically linked, it's just a different place. Check this page for more details: https://gobolinux.org/at_a_glance.html
