I still think you are overstating it somewhat.  Have a website on which you distribute your software to end users (and maybe even--gasp--charge them for it)?  *That's* a good reason.  And that's one of the top ways that users get software.  Also, many programs rely on 2-3 dependencies, and sometimes that is asking a lot of the end user to install.  (I know, I know, it shouldn't be...and with things like pip it really shouldn't be, but you know how it goes).  

I completely agree with you in Ideal World thinking, but in the gnarly one we actually have, .exe files *often* have their place.
