I think the difference is that those apps come preinstalled by Apple. Most users would think, if I install a bit of software, I can remove it later. That's normal behavior. If the KEXT installation process has a way of getting software into the special hidey-hole, it should provide a way of getting software out of it again if it is user-installed.

Wah, I misread then! I thought this was a new Apple-supplied program joining its others in being non-removable. I agree this is even worse then; I just also think I should be able to remove Safari, Chess, et al. too.
