I've made installations for not very computer savy people to run them.

All they had to do was click on a pd file to open, adjust one or two interface GUI

nothing went wrong.

I guess it's a matter of how and what you do

i think this is not true at all. the point of the standalone app in the case of pd would be to present to a not very computer savy person an interface that just works and where nothing can go “wrong” by clicking in the wrong places or by hitting some keycombinations. but maybe that is what kiosk is doing already.
