@deobald It is kind of insane from a Linux engineer's perspective, especially in 2026. But MSI was created in 1999 for Windows, which doesn't have the strict(-ish) filesystem layout UNIX has, where software was shipped on CDs, computers were slower with expensive disk space, and in an environment where Microsoft had already invented the Windows Registry.
So I guess it made sense back then... I'm glad we didn't accidentally create something like this for Linux 😅
