No, that's a copyright violation, and it won't run on AMD or Intel GPUs, or kernels with a different Nvidia driver version.

But this ruins the entire idea of packaging software in a self-contained way, at least for a large class of programs.
It makes me wonder, does the OS still take its job of hardware abstraction seriously these days?
The OS does. Nvidia doesn't.

That’s a licensing problem not a packaging problem. A DLL is a DLL - only thing that changes is whether you’re allowed redistribute it
