To be technically correct - this depends on a platform. E.g. on Linux this is the preferred way as Linux usually comes "with batteries included" and your bundled "extra baggage" could be only source of various trouble when it conflicts with the libraries which are on the machine already.

You need to realise that (L)GPL licenses in their current incarnation predate internet as we know it now by quite a bit and it wasn't realistic to have a web link with download available back then. Unfortunately, there are trolls who will take you to task over this. On the other hand there are also unscrupulous corporations and individuals taking the free there as free in beer only, so the trolls have their purpose too.
