why can't apps just be programmed to update themselves?

because outside the windows world central package management is the norm and based on "least privileges" applications must not have the permissions to change itself

could be precompiled binaries stored on the git repos of each project
for a few CPU architectures

and for each distribution with different depencdencies and libraries

or maybe the app could even recompile
itself inside /tmp

if you don't care for security

since most systems KDE runs on come with a compiler
by default

which distribution installs a compiler by default so that one can avoid touching it?
