Well, I *am* a database programmer first and foremost, so my
biases are to be expected. But as to the idea that Access has to
be installed to run Access apps, well, the VB6 run-times have to
be installed to run VB6 apps! ('Course, the VB6 run-times are
free, so that makes a bit of a difference right there.)

Well, the fact they they are free makes more than " a bit" of difference ;-) And, of course, the VB6 runtimes are already installed by default on a standard install of all versions of Windows (from Win98 onwards I think). I just love VB6, as I think you can tell :-)
