[When other people build your app from sources]

Because then they are likely to need automation to deal with it. And 
that introduces an extra dependency.

Coming from me, that wouldn't be an issue because I'm good at 
anticipating likely problems, having experienced so many myself with 
other people's apps, and will make it easy (for example by supplying 
just one file, or by specifying the steps in English).

Others though are not usually so considerate.

What are the criteria for a project to be considered a toy?

Older versions of my languages were exclusively used to in the past to 
write all my software. I think I might have sold some £10m or so or of 
it, and that's not inflation adjusted.

A very useful and productive toy!
