why dp programs (games in particular) do such an awful job at Uninstalling their files?

I just cleared out nearly 100 GB of data from about a dozen old games I Uninstalled years ago. WITCHER 2 and 3, DOS 2, Mass effect, xcom 1 and 2, Herizon 1… and more, all left up to 30 GB files after using game Uninstallers.

Without any more information on what those remaining game files *were* this is going to be hard to answer.
The typical “Do not delete my profile data/safegames” option that your typical uninstaller will offer, for example, can absolutely make a difference of 30GB. A single lategame CK2 savegame will cost you about 50MB and it is not uncommon to amass hundreds of them.
