I suppose there are some unique cases where you would need the Terminal to execute a uninstaller script. You click the little icon go to the control panel no uninstall option. With macOS, in most cases, there really is no need to use the Terminal to remove apps, it can be done from Finder. So now, you find that you cant uninstall Webroot. If I want to uninstall it I bring up the AppCleaner app and drag /Applications/BBEdit to the AppCleaner window which will find the preference files for BBEdit to be removed. Another case, I have an app called BBEdit installed. In order for me to uninstall the Epson printer driver I would double-click with the mouse on /Applications/Epson Software/Uninstaller from Finder. For instance, I have installed a Epson printer driver which includes some Epson utility software. Click and drag the Webroot SecureAnywhere program icon into the Trash in the dock. While others you would execute a specific uninstall script to uninstall them. Some apps you would drag them from /Applications folder to the trash to uninstall them. The uninstall script would be unique to each app that has one. As chrfr has pointed twice now there is no uninstall command in macOS.
