Here is one reason I like the bundled approach. I've been using golang recently which compiles into a machine executable. I was building a REST API that many third parties would use. When they wanted to use the API for development all I had to do was send them the bundle and tell them how to start. There were no other dependencies at all. It didn't assume a particular package manager, OS, or anything else. Take this file and execute it, that's it.
