“OS level application management” is just the good old “Programs and Features” dialog where it simply registers the path to the uninstaller.

That’s what I took that to mean, too. And it’s sufficient. It allows the OS to provide a single point from which to uninstall all programs.

Well then, when that's sufficient. Have you checked %AppData% (Local, Roaming, LocalLow) for any residue?

What I meant is that the “registering with the OS” part is sufficient. If the uninstallers suck, no operating system can do anything about that.
