Nice work and good explanatory website. I would like an easier process for deploying Java desktop apps, but the solution I use would need to also make it easier for me to deploy to the app stores (aka Mac App Store, Microsoft Store on Windows). Basically I would need a code signed app that I could submit to Apple.

jDeploy can be configured to produce an app like this, where everything is bundled together. It will even automate the codesign and notarize process. However, to do this requires a Mac, and you still need to jump through all Apple's crap for certificates etc... I haven't documented this process officially because I didn't want to confuse the primary message.

For app store builds, jpackage is probably the way to go.
