or can they be installed alongside the OS?

Yes, and should be. Thats the config that most use and so that is
much better tested. If you install the apps in a separate partition
there is more chance that the uninstall doesnt work properly just
because that isnt tested as thoroughly.

Tested by who? What are the test protocols of the major software vendors?

In over 10 years of testing, I have found that uninstall from a D: drive is
no more problematic than uninstall from C:.
