That’s only formally a choice. In reality, you’ll depend on some delivery system (among many other systems) that is a part of some build/dev system that is a part of a job market conjuncture.

Because, instead of "trusting" the update (or rather codebase) of a messenger, we now have to trust the complete browser bundle.
