Probably because it doesn't actually package the Python interpreter into the executable and relies on a hashbang (ie. `#!/bin/python`) to actually run the bundled source files. Pex [0] does the same thing.
It's a half solution at best, but if you control the infrastructure it does dramatically simplify things like Dockerfiles and other deployment stuff. Not super useful for general distribution IMO.
That's a bummer. An app being self-contained is kinda the point of an AppImage IMO, and depending on an external Python (if one even exists) throws a wrench in that.
