ELI5: How come deleting an app on a phone is so quick and easy but deleting an app on a desktop takes much longer and more steps?

Mobile apps are installed in their own separate container, all in one place and all in the same way. Deleting them is as simple as deleting the container.

PC applications (unless they’re similarly-packaged apps from the Store) have no standard single location but are spread about the the disk and various databases and need to provide their own custom uninstallation process in the same way they provide their own custom installation process.
