True, but SCPing a JAR around still requires a JRE of some sort of another and all that entails. Sure, containerization helps that but, in turn, it too is another dependency in the eventual execution.
Long term, I think static binaries win, probably due to advances in WASI/WASM; where the whole execution stack (as we think of it today) is thrown away and replaced.
