I think setuptools is going to be a great solution and definitely plan to more there eventually. For now though, the mpkg-based distribution provides a lower barrier to entry (one less thing to install first), and it's a familiar format to all Mac users. One of the obvious audiences for appscript is existing AppleScripters, who aren't always overly enthusiastic about approaching unfamiliar technology, so it keeps things simple for them.
