Embedding the Java runtime with each app dates back to the days when Java as a platform was very buggy, and devs had to make sure the user had 1.xsomething and not 1.xsomething-1 JRE installed. It's a very very bad practive and I raise hell to any developer I see embedding the JRE with his app. Not to mention that uninstalling Java from systems renders Java Web Start useless. I think JWS is one of Java's hidden gems and should be promoted more, not less.
