So can a dotfile, or any other kind of storage. There's really nothing inherently bad about the registry. Its reputation as a place to hide things in is equal parts selection bias, users' lack of technical understanding, and the marketing of "registry cleaner" apps.

But... it is a place to hide things 🤨.

I won't argue about leftovers when uninstallig, some package managers do that as well, plus it's not really the registry's fault, that's just bad or badly configured installers/uninstallers.
