No, fat binaries are not binaries with all dependencies included. Fat binaries are executable files that contain equivalent compiled code for multiple architectures. Some also facilitate running binaries across different operating systems. More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_binary
The idea also reminds me of (executable) self-extracting ZIP archives that were common once upon a time.
Thanks! Seems like I've misunderstood the concept a bit. My apologies.
