Dragging to trash is not necessarily intuitive .   One can have the
inspiration to try that , or not.

Some users (me included)  would first try  to right-click  on an
application and hope to get a popup menu with different actions like
"info"  ,  "add to favourites",   "create shortcut in launcher" ,
"open in software center"  ,   "rate this application "  ,
"uninstall"  .
