This is why i don't think the concept of an "installer" should be the way software gets published and distributed to end users. Very few software packages actually _need_ to have installers - things like system/hardware drivers are the ones that come to mind. Instead, use the portable apps model (https://portableapps.com/ https://portableapps.com/) , where you have a single binary that runs, and can be deployed by a simple copy/extract. Ditto with uninstallation. This is what MacOS has, so that's why mac software is just a bundle inside a directory (that ends in `.app`).
