Not a bad idea. I wonder how this compares to ubuntu's snaps. Seems like a good idea to me but I've not really seen it used much yet.
On OS-X apps have been distributed in a .app form for ages. It's very uncommon for OS X apps to have installers or a more complicated installation (and uninstallation) than drag and drop.
So, good idea and it kind of fixes a big issue where most linux distributions seem to insist on dll hell with just about anything littering the file system with cruft and just about every interpreter out there reinventing ways to create virtual environments.
