QuestDB engineer here: We use jlink to create images for selected platforms. This means not even JRE is a dependency: You unpack a tarball and you are good to go. See: https://questdb.io/docs/get-started/binaries/

Well, technically it is a dependency in that you can't target platforms there isn't a JRE for. But I take your point about simplifying installation.
