I love it in the context of hacking actually. When working on HackTheBox machines or other CTFs you sometimes need to deploy tools onto the machine like these:

When you deploy them they just work. Compare that to compiled C++ code you often face issues with the deployment in my experience. And production machines usually do not ship compilers.
