Not sure how you installed, and I don't use a mac, but I gather that /Library/TeX/texbin should have been added to your PATH when you installed, but it wasn't for some reason.

Bottles: Easy GUI front end to run Windows software on Linux
To get decent software management on macOS, you end up having to build automation on top of the AppBundle system, and what is required for every package can be totally custom. Homebrew Casks are neater than something like Chocolatey, but they're essentially the same kind of wrapper around custom install tools which come from publishers and can basically do whatever they want. (Casks get to be neater and faster because the AppBundle design almost works, so most .pkg installers only do a few extra things around the edges.)
Something like Flatpak can address the problems with AppBundles in a way that clones like AppImage can't.
That said, this:
> Keep runtimes in "installations" and let applications exists as single-directory self-contained units wherever the user wants them. What is fundamentally difficult about this?
basically sounds okay to me and I don't see why it couldn't be done. (Although I don't really like the idea of Flatpak applications being distributed as files becoming popular, because I'd rather developers submit their apps to Flathub or somewhere similar so that they're still usable via remote management tools.)
> It's weird that when you criticize something in Linux Desktop, for some reason its proponents always go all whataboutism on Windows.
You mentioned that Windows is the desktop operating system you're currently using, so it seems Windows' application management norms must be acceptable to you. I thought about including a section about the case on macOS (similar to the one in this comment), but I didn't do so because you mentioned Windows and not macOS in your original comment here.
