Uninstaller Shortcuts in the Windows 8 Age

Back when Windows XP was the newest Microsoft consumer OS, it was common practice for program installers to create folders in the Start menu "All Programs" list. Each such program's folder contained a shortcut to the program itself, and sometimes a help file or uninstaller.

Nowadays, with the Start menu flattened by Windows 8's Start screen (and, to some extent, the incremental search of Windows 7 and 10's Start text box), I frequently see uninstaller shortcuts come up. It doesn't make sense to me that a particular uninstaller should be readily accessible - it's not like I'm going to remove a program on a daily basis. It's even worse when the shortcut is just called "Uninstall" with no indication as to what program owns it.

I think it's time we stop placing shortcuts to uninstallers. Windows XP and its rigid Start hierarchies are long gone.
