This might be a Windows thing. I'm coming primarily from that
background, where for most "if it doesn't have a GUI  installer, it
doesn't exist", and Distribute doesn't have an installer. I guess it's
idiosyncratic because those coming before me on a similar path would
have just gravitated to NSIS or similar for this need.
