...but applications can't rely on having write permission for their 
bundle - let alone the actual executable, right...?

This could probably be an issue on Windows as well, and it's nearly 
always an issue on traditional Unix-like systems.

Basically, a normal application just has no business messing with it's 
executable (or any exectubles at all, for that matter!), and it 
should not assume that it's install directory belongs to the current 
user.
