Rooting & Uninstalls question

Newbie
Two part question, both related.

1. Why are Android phones set up the way they are requiring a "rooting" procedure to perform certain functions?

For example: Say I bought a Dell computer, loaded it up, and found software I didn't need. I could just uninstall the unwanted software and move on, no big deal... Not the case with these phones. I have apps that came with the phone that I'll never use. They just take up disk space. :rolleyes:

2. Is their any work around?

Is their any way to uninstall factory apps with out rooting?

HTC EVO 4, 2.2 OS

Thanks
