The goal of including Tor with Ricochet is that people with no system-wide Tor, like Windows users can use Ricochet easily. Ephemeral onion services make easy for Ricochet to manage many identities but you need Tor to connect to Tor xD

This is really neat, cheers!

And those Windows users, how are they then to update Tor when this software becomes so extremely obsolete? You're just making it easy for them to screw up.

Windows build of Ricochet has the separate tor.exe, users can just update/replace this files to get the new version. The Tor only version built for Windows can be downloaded on the official Tor distribution folder: https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/8.5.4/
For example:
Tor Windows 32bits: https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/8.5.4/tor-win32-0.4.0.5.zip
Tor Windows 64bits: https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/8.5.4/tor-win64-0.4.0.5.zip
Just extract and replace these files on the Ricochet folder and it works.

Wait, so you're saying I'm right then? That because Windows users can use Ricochet easily - even if they should be replacing tor (but maybe don't) - the effect is that your including tor is making it easy for them to screw up?
Unless you are going to keep ricochet updated, so that we have a new version every time tor is updated, then you should not be pretending to Windows users that they do not need to install tor.
