It does all of this work for you and its a standard tool that dumps out a platform specific application bundle.
The only people living in 2010 are the ones that choose to live there with incredibly outdated takes on things they dont understand.
Even Eclipse and Intellij ship openjdk based runtimes with their distributions and have even stricter GPL limits.
An app bundle (.app, .rpm, .deb, .msi/.exe etc.) are things jpackage can build for you and are a single shippable artifact for a user with a JRE included so they don't need to do that. It's designed to make it easy to ship Java applications around.
If you want a fully statically linked binary you're diving into graalvm and native-image: https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image.... This will give you what you want which is basically something you can wget and chmod +x.
Write once, run everywhere.
Or use a graal to build a native-image and ship that around.
But that's not what people want. They want an .exe or a .app, or .rpm, or whatever. That's a container for holding that .jar and it is platform specific and there is no workaround to that problem.
