Hot take: I hate when software just extracts an executable.
Fucking install it so that it's registered with the software updater and uninstaller. Don't make me remember that I have to go hunting in the folder to delete this one app.

Assuming you are on Windows, the proper install method is to run

winget install -e --id BlenderFoundation.Blender

Cool, that doesn't help because I don't actually want blender.

I'm commenting on how much I hate when software is provided as just a portable executable.

I know that a lot of the time they're also provided as flatpaks or debs or in snap or windows app store, or Apple app store, etc.
But I'm talking about doing the thing that is being described in the image: unpacking a portable executable.
