Yeah, it's about how Windows has .msi installers, whereas for MacOS it's a .dmg where you copy the exec binary (which itself is a folder) into the /Applications folder.

Or any folder. Most of my apps are in sub folders organized by category. :)

Apples and Oranges. MSI compares to .pkg (eww) installers on the mac side, not .dmg.
