original poster is making. Windows users are presented with a single

Nonsense. dpkg -i *.deb is user friendly, despite what you want to claim.
That graphical tools might make it difficult is no argument.
Beisde that, you agree that .deb is what users should know. How on earth are they
then NOT to know how to install them? (And install all of debs one program consists
of?)
If we follow your thinking, there would be NO dependencies at all allowed and every
app needs to include every possible piece of software it needs - be it (security-)buggsy,
grossly oudated, unstable or whatever) just to please users.
[ Disclaimer: The packages which get out of the installer and are in that .tar.gz DO suck.
I don't deny that. I wholeheartly agree with you that THEY are user-unfriendly. dpkg is not. ]
