Another example clown app: the MacOS downloads of TuxGuitar, a Java app, used to just ship as a zip with a big jar in it. Now it ships an entire Java Runtime environment specific to your processor architecture. It's 480MB. Derp.

MacOS used to include Java out of the box, and then they stopped doing that. How else should an app reasonably behave to keep supporting new versions of the system?
