   Why does it matter? Are you nuts? It's extremely important to back up apps.   
      
   Think about what Windows?Android/Linux users would say if you told them   
   it's impossible for them to back up their saved program installers.   
      
   I must have half a dozen (at least) last known good versions on my PC.   
   And a few on Android.   
      
   Only Apple makes it impossible for the user to back up their installers.   
   Nobody else but Apple users would put up with that crap.
