I’ve mainly used OSX/MacOS tho right out my life, but have used Windows for work. From my understanding, installing an app on Windows scatters files throughout the OS and makes it sometimes difficult to fully uninstall an app. Often times there are files that are leftover.
In macOS it’s super easy because with a lot of apps, the files are bundled within the app itself making it easier to remove.

Mac is more strict/standardized on how apps get installed and uninstalled, especially if they are in the app store. Apple is in general a much more closed system.
Windows is really the same way… for apps in the app store, but traditionally most Windows apps are not from the app store and those can be written in any way that the developer wants them to work. There really is no standard at all. Windows is in general a much more open system.
