How to embed a biber produced bbl file into the tex source

Question

A very nice feature of (classic) bibtex is that once the bbl file has been produced, you can neatly insert it into the .tex file (this comes handy, e.g., for publishing papers, were sending .bib files is a bit clunky).

On the other hand, biblatex-biber is superior to bibtex in many respects which I don't need to mention here. I found it however not easy to replicate the bbl file embedding that is so easy with bibtex.

To be sure, the bbl file is readable, but it has many macros that are not recognized, so it seems as if I'm missing some style file somewhere.

Here is a MWE: starting with the source file biblatex-biber-sample.tex:

\documentclass{article}
%%\usepackage{lstinput}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-biber-sample.bib}
\title{Bib\LaTeX sample file}
\author{Oskar Limka}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
To cite a reference, like \cite{Lehman:11:manual:The-biblatex},
just do it normally as with Bib\TeX.
But you must use \texttt{${\backslash}$addbibresource} and
\texttt{${\backslash}$printbibliography}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

The following is the bib file I used

%% Saved with string encoding Unicode (UTF-8) 

@manual{WilliamsKelley:10:manual:gnuplot,
Address = {gnuplot-info@lists.sourceforge.net},
Author = {Williams, Thomas and Kelley, Colin},
Booktitle = {gnuplot 4.4},

Date-Modified = {2017-01-12 14:59:06 +0000},

@manual{Lehman:11:manual:The-biblatex,
Address = {plehman@gmx.net},
Author = {Lehman, Philipp},
Booktitle = {The biblatex package: programmable bibliographies and citations},
Date-Added = {2017-01-12 14:59:06 +0000},
Date-Modified = {2017-01-12 14:59:06 +0000},
Day = {29},
Edition = {Version 1.6},
Keywords = {latex, bibtex, biblatex, bibliography, reference, typesetting},
Month = {July},
Title = {The biblatex package: programmable bibliographies and citations},
Year = {2011}}

the sequence is pdflatex, biber, pdflatex and then I inserted the bbl file to produce the following monolith

\documentclass{article}
%%\usepackage{lstinput}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-biber-sample.bib}
\title{Bib\LaTeX sample file}

َ\begin{document}
