Yeah uninstallation is a flaw, but what alternative are you suggesting?
And yes I am the type of person that uses heuristics to trust what software to run. You aren't magically safer if you audit the install script and not the actual binary.

We are talking about the dangers of the installation method. Not the program itself.
It only makes sense to separate them if you install the program and then never run it which is obviously ridiculous.

I agree, but it is necessary because there aren't any good alternatives.
Also it is very minimal additional risk. If it wasn't we'd see it used as an attack method and as far as I know that has yet to happen once.
