An exe file is simply a file that Windows uses as executable. Windows doesn't care how it was created, it just knows how to execute it. Several different OSes use different methods for marking files as per their properties; Windows uses file extensions (.exe in this case). So, you may create an .exe files using several methods in several languages. If you know C/C++, you'll know how to use a compiler. you can make a Python script which is originally meant for Python's execution engine (like JVM for Java) to something that the OS can directly act upon.

your application or software that is intended for others to use, consists of many things , the application , the API, supporting packages , files (images, text, others). so everything is brought together in a single .exe file so there is complexity based on wat ur application requires and does, but even ur simple c++ programs create an exe file after being compiled it justs keep getting bigger for big apps
