I hadn't heard of Apptainer/Singularity before but it doesn't seem to provide the ability to create standalone executables.

Singularity absolutely produces standalone executables, been building tools this way for years.
How? I've used Apptainer pretty extensively for a couple years and as far as I know the machine where it runs has to have Apptainer installed, even when executing sif files like a normal app.
I stand corrected, yes, you need run-singularity to be installed to execute the image, i completely forgotten.
