To pitch in my two cents (or more relevantly, my two pence) here whilst we're discussing the inflexibility of pre-installed Scopes - how do we manually change the locale of Scopes? I want to use the UK version of Amazon - I've changed the webapp easily enough - but the Scope still directs me to Amazon US. Same goes for eBay. Quite frustrating for all searches on those Scopes - despite being logged in on my respective UK Amazon and eBay accounts - to return US hits :-|

It's still a click, it's just unconfined (the photos scope that is)

Some of the locally installed scopes have privileges that scopes installed from click packages cannot obtain. For example, the photo scope can look at your Pictures folder, which a click-installed scope cannot do.

If you don't use some local scopes, they don't do any harm, other than using a very small amount of disk space. Just disable the ones you don't like by unfavoriting them.
