Interesting idea.

Esp for the windows packages (both the zip and the installer) I think that would make a lot of sense.

For the macOS app, I don't know whether it will work (but of course the downloadable dmg could provide both apps, and it might compress well enough that the additional content won't be a problem)

On Linux I prefer to split rather than merge, so I'm pretty sure I will package them separately on Debian

But if course the two packages will be co-installable.
Depending on user demands, I might also consider pulling in the double-package via a "soft" dependency.

Not really.
You basically have to build twice...

I don't think that the standard building workflow should be adjusted for the special case of building both variants (though now that I've written that, it's probably simple enough...)
