Has it really? Software which is simply distributed as a zip file with
the old installation way of "unzip and move wherever you want"
continues to work fine. You can move it to non-packaged -- or wherever
you to want actually.
Broken might be "unzip to /boot"-things, but those were never a good
idea anyway.
Well-written old BeOS applications I have around, such as SoundPlay,
BamBam, ColdCut, CL-Amp, TAResizer and more, still work fine like that,
just unzip and run.
