What do you mean by platform? If you only ship a .deb, there are going to be a lot of linux and unix users who simply can't use your stuff.

I've seen quite a few tools use curl to bash to work in macOS, windows and multiple flavours of unix. There aren't a huge number of other approaches that can allow that.
