Thats honestly the reason why most stuff is a web app these days. For desktop software you need to deal with IT security losers who recoil in horror at the idea of computers running software, and god help you if you need a port opened.
Far better to shove everything through port 443 and redownload the software over and over until the end of time.
As an IT security loser it’s not your software I’m worried about, it’s your OpSec. I’ve seen enough innocuous software being owned and being used to deploy malware that it takes a lot of due diligence to trust providers of random binaries

Windows will invariably tell them your software is not secure and block it.
It doesn't matter what the software does, all that matters is that only your company runs it, so there isn't a million people out there with a copy.
