I can think of an application that can uninstall itself. When
choosing a "Uninstall me" menu item, the application deletes every
support file and then, for example, moves the application file to the
trash (or to the temporary folder which gets deleted on next launch).
So even an uninstaller seems not needed, in my opinion.

Even that, in my opinion, is not always a reason for using an
installer. Most modern OS X apps are pretty smart meanwhile,
installing any support files (for example, stuff that goes into
Application Support) on first launch - sometimes out of their own
bundle.
Even launching special background processes or adding StartupItems
can often be done out of the running app.
The only useful thing an installer can don is, IMHO, offering aa
"clean uninstall" option - but only wher it makes sense.

Anyway, using an installer is not the most wanted method for a Mac
user, unless you have to copy special files to special folders.
