Why doesn't LV2020 installers install NI-MAX?

[RTSLVU]

I have built an installer for my program

It includes these installers:

1. NI-LabVIEW Runtime 2020
2. NI-488.2 Runtime 20.0
3. NI-Serial Runtime 20.0
4. NI-VISA Runtime 20.0

For the last decade or more one of these last three included installers also installed NI-MAX.

But that is not the case anymore and according to NI, Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) cannot be downloaded by itself. 

Now how am I supposed to install it? 

I hate to say it but LabVIEW 2020 is a failure on so many levels...

Just install System Configuration, this will get you NI MAX. https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/drivers/download.system-configuration.html#345614

Add the NI-VISA Configuration Support to your build specification.  You may will need to uncheck the "Only display runtime installers" in the Additional Installers part of your build specification in order to see it.  I do this for DAQmx as well (NI-DAQmx Runtime with Configuration Support).
