One is that it creates a global association but I want to be able to install many versions of the pharo VM at the same time (selected via $PATH and managed by nix.) The other is that I consider running commands as root to be an unrealistic expectation for people wanting to run a GUI application (same reason I dislike the realtime priority warning.)
