I barely download any apps from the app store, so I didn’t even know that. I just habitually do it straight from the developers.
Regarding uninstalling by dragging to the trash, that would actually be perfect if it worked exactly like AppCleaner does. Unfortunately it always leaves behind cache and a few files here and there.
All Apple needs to do is enable deletion of all app-related files when you drag the app itself to the trash. Can’t imagine it’s too complex if AppCleaner is able to achieve the very same thing as a third-party.
it’s a deliberate choice. this way if you change your mind later and reinstall the app, all your settings & data are still there. you could argue that macOS should give you the option, but user choice isn’t really Apple’s way.
