VSIX are a pain to maintain (enable install for Community/Professional, 2017/2019), CLI is much simpler. I have been using nuget for packaging but it's changed and now is a pain to deliver tooling by. Admittedly if I merged all my .NET binaries into one it would probably work. Rather than complain and do an uninstall I tell the user to download from the website and unzip the file.
