The issue is that they don't want to have to restart Chrome/ium after an update. And they don't want to deal with version skew between different files. Their solution seems reasonable to me overall.

Seems that he thinks it's much easier task to accomplish if they didn't have to deal with Linux apt/rpm style updates.

True, but they decided that getting into the app stores made the additional engineering costs acceptable.
They could have avoided the issues by going the route of a stand-alone installer but obviously found it more viable to do it the other way.
