Watch WWDC 2019 Session 701, you'll learn something.

It is easy to do this? No, in many cases I'd expect it to be a serious P.I.T.A, but it's unquestionably the right move going forward.

That has nothing to do with distributing the programs that run on top of VMs/runtimes. The operating system only sees the JVM/CLR as an executable. Even if that has to be signed, there is no way of enforcing the programs that run on top of them to be signed.
