> The most frequent complaint from users was that they could easily turn off alarms by simply removing the app.

Why would people do that? And why should we prevent this it if that is what they want. I don't understand.

People are not always completely lucid immediately upon their alarm clock going off. Have you ever woken up several hours late, only to find that your alarm clock did go off at the scheduled time, but you disabled it and resumed sleeping before fully waking up?
Well I am the kind who get out of bed, go to pee and shower. I hate when my partner is using snooze or set up multiple alarms, it feels like torture to me.

However here we mention people uninstalling the app instead of hitting snooze or disabling it. It sounds weird to me.
