Can you expand on your reasoning? Because the opposite seems to be true when it comes to projects like uv. People love the single-file executable -- easy to just compile that for a platform and have your users download it. It seems like the uv project is having a good time with that model, so I think they show it's not "impossible". Maybe they're doing something different I'm not aware of? Or maybe your use case is different, so what's impossible about your situation?
