Dude sorry, I'm not following what you say.

We need a bundling format for the web. There is no mainstream format and much less runtimes for it. The best we got is Web Bundles, which at least has been worked on for years, despite not having a widely implemented runtime.

You are also suggesting a bundled format (ad-hoc zip file with webpack?) but that is not a standard, and of course there are no runtimes.

So forget about *anything* today readily available to run a packaged webapp. It is simply not a thing. We need to build it, and that's my intention with a .wbn runner inside Zapstore.

I would like to understand your rationale on why a zip file is better than the Web Bundle spec.
