This is not a criticism of the VenToy software, which does appear to offer a very interesting option for directly/regularly testing new ISOs without any of the pre-processing other solutions need and it's something I might well use on a dedicated external USB SSD/Hard Drive, but probably not on a 'Thumb Drive'.

With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD (x)/EFI. once VenToy has been used to create the dedicated usb drive it's no longer needed which is totally different to Rufus and other similar apps, which do have to be regularly used to process any new iso images. Ventoy is a tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD (x)/EFI files.

I didn't intend to imply it couldn't be used (with care) via the PortableApps Platform - That was poorly worded by me, but my personal view is that there is little purpose in devoting the scarce and valuable development time needed to creating and maintaining a PortableApps version of any app that is already natively portable and which is unlikely to be needed regularly, i.e. Because, by the Developer's own description, the primary purpose of this app is solely to set up a dedicated USB Drive (which which includes complete erasure and repartitioning of that Drive), after which the software on that drive is self-updating and any ISOs are managed by the user manually copying to the appropriate partition.
