No one is saying that. What they're saying is "You're on your own".
That's a very different thing, though the distinction may be
inconsequential to a non-technical user. Thankfully, this list is
populated by developers, who are unlikely to qualify as non-technical users.
Before arguing this point further, please search the list archives for
"uninstall" and read the past arguments about Apple providing uninstallers,
of any form. Really. The postings on this subject go back several years,
and are quite easy to find by searching for "uninstall":

No one ever argues that Apple can't do an uninstaller (technically
impossible). It always comes down to economics or similar tradeoffs.
