The same behavior may be present on Windows for all I know. I've used Win7 a handful of times and Win 10 once or twice, so I don't have a good handle on how the Registry deals with uninstalls these days. My complaints re disk space are mostly still around because SSD prices are still not cheap compared to spinning disks. For example, I went from 80 GB (2005 Dell Latitude) to 120 GB (2007 MBP) to 256 GB (2013 MBP). Desktop drives at the time were probably triple to quadruple the storage at half the price, so it's still an issue. To migrate everything to an SSD in my next machine will take somewhere between 1-2 TB, and last I checked, the 1 TB option on a MacBook Pro was $600.
