I agree with Paul from a technological basis, but there is a strong business case for doing compilation on the fly and having the deliverable be a single file. People with lower technology aptitude/interest would consider a single file better/simpler and may use that as a significant factor on what to purchase. This is why a lot of these types of products do deliver only one file. A lot also deliver multiple files, so it's by no means a cut and dry case. So if the product marketing allows for a multi-file deliverable/output, then I would agree with Paul. But sometimes your stuck with what the market(ers) want.
