You could make the same argument for JavaScript libraries—shouldn't web browsers just bundle jQuery?—but there's ultimately no good way to do that.

I see a move to (browser?) specific based installer packages and a re-thought static 'cache' mechanism/area to do the preload.

Of course, we move from the beauty of no-install software on the web back to runtime installing but...maybe it would be better?
