I may very well be wrong on this but I thought frameworks get included
in the app bundle, hence making deployment way easier (but obviously
heavier as it's almost like statically linking libs inside the
executable). I find the shared libs deploy-once-run-everything better
from an engineering point of view, but I recognise Apple's bundles and
frameworks have some good points (like avoiding littering the
filesystem with exotic libs that are only used by one application).
