If only it could! It's just the way macOS apps install/uninstall was designed.

If you uninstall an app by dragging it to the trash it also leaves behind :

caches files in ~Library/Caches
preferences files in ~Library/Preferences
log files in ~Library/Logs
Other files in
- ~Library/Containers
- ~Library/Cookies
- ~Library/Address Book Plug-Ins
- ~Library/Saved Application State
- ~private/var/db/BootCaches
