curl|bash does't have an obvious UNinstall mechanism. You can pip3 uninstall, apt-get remove, but what do you do for curl? It could give a shit all over your system, /usr, /etc and you wouldn't know what to delete.

But I have the same problem building from source and using make install. There’s often not an easy make uninstall command. And pip uninstall only uninstalls individual packages, it doesn’t clean up auto-installed dependencies while also ignoring dependencies that I had at any point requested to be installed directly
