Hm, that's a good point.

Removing Nix is easier on operating systems where root is root (normal Unix-likes without a lot of filesystem-related security policies enabled). Nix only uses a separate APFS volume on macOS because Apple disabled writing to /.

The way that affects the uninstall process should be documented.

I spotted some people who've recently worked on Nix's install scripts and uninstall procedure elsewhere on the thread. You can file an issue if you think they'll miss your comment :)
