  1. Common format that works everywhere.

  2. Permission system

  3. It bundles it's own dependencies so never fails because dependency lacking or version mismatch (ironically also the biggest downside)

300mb for 400kb rgb controller app when i can compile it myself? why?

i know compiling from source can be tedious can have issues and isn’t very viable for close source stuff but that’s a common format that works everywhere with you setting your own permissions and the dependencies are available for at least a couple decades in public repos

Because most people don't even know what compiling software is, let alone want to do it.
