That's an important distinction. I guess my annoyance is mostly cosmetic. The app is pretty small and does a simple data processing task. Had I written the app in C++ it would have been a couple of megabytes (and it would have taken me 10 times longer to write..). But with Clojure/Java/JVM/jdeps it comes out as some monstrous 100MB installer. It just feels a bit gross ...
End user apps are second class citizens on the JVM (except weirdly on Android.. but they're in a weird bubble of their own)

Perhaps give native compilation a try? Not sure how well does it work with Clojure, but that might shrink the app size a bit as well?
