apart from all negative point the positive point is that we can make .zip file act like a .iso file and .iso file act like .html file and .html act like a bash and .bat file and have a global executable format bootable.apk...zip.iso.html.bat that run on all platform I mean literally all platform.

It's not that far-fetched for desktop platforms. This was actually implemented as the "αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε" [0]

I think ape currently modifies the file but my idea (that partially inspired by it) don't need to modify the executable you just double click on windows and `chmod +x` it on mac and linux and it will run, and rename the file to .apk to install on android same for ios. and we can also use webassembly to share code or even use PWA for all platform and also with a little effort we can make it bootable on all architecture.
