Golang, which is most used system language in the last few years, also bundles stdlib.

Additionally, quite a lot of software seems to be distributed in self-contained format; for example many Java apps (even those intended to be installed on a server) come bundled with JRE, and Linux GUI apps and games are usually distributed in Flatpak/Snap/AppImage.

Of course let's not forget about distributing software as Docker images, which is probably the most common way software is installed in many server environments.
