I admit to using my mac as little as possible for testing purposes, but I really don't get why a zipped up application bundle is seen as unfriendly for macOS users? I'm inclined towards the views expressed in https://daringfireball.net/2009/09/how_should_mac_apps_be_distributed Maybe I'm biased by my love of RiscOS, but isn't the whole point of a self-contained application bundle that you just drag it where you want it? I do understand why the current zip download isn't optimal for any OS yet.

I think this would require a change in Apache policy towards distribution of system dependencies? Something I really hope we see in a world moving away from centralized JDKs!
