- Does not work for native dependencies.

- Does not allow splitting the application up into stable/unstable parts to reduce update sizes.

- Does not directly allow multiple entry points.

- Requires Python to be already installed, or requires bundling Python loosely, which is very slow when used from a network share.

- Uses zipimport under the hood, which is very slow on network shares, and very very very slow on Windows network shares.
