Why make Dolphin now install instead of being a self-extracting archive?

Then the installer isn't meant for you. It's meant for people who need a simpler solution. For people like you (and me, and probably most people here), who'd rather just have a zip of just the dolphin files, those are available, via dev builds. These are more up to date anyway.
