If your "app" is running in java, python, you need to bundle the correct runtime version. (As well as another UI framework, and all dependencies)

You're back in bloaty electron land then, no?

No, I would argue you're not. The runtime destributables for .NET and Java are not bloated like Electron. Python is worse however it's a already a built-in part of many system's package ecosystem.
