I don't really see the issue here. If you're going to distribute a 3rd party closed-source app you might as well make a statically-linked build (to the extent that's possible) that installs somewhere in ~/, and maybe a shortcut or two. I certainly don't want 3rd party stuff asking for superuser privileges and spreading their stuff all over the filesystem like they do on Windows. Uninstalling should be quite trivial then.
In fact, I regularly go about building and installing FOSS software in a prefix under my home dir, stuff like latest Git versions.
