Because, in spite of what LiveCode will tell you, the Linux side of
things is marginal and minimal, and
while a .deb might be alright for Debian and its derivatives, it is not
going to be alright for other types
of Linux: "too much work for too little return": I can see it coming.
Also: why is the installer app "silly"? It is no worse or no better
than the installer apps for Macintosh and Windows,
and I, for one, have no real problem with any of them.

as to the "why not" of this, I don't have an answer. Building a .deb
package isn't a huge task and would make uninstalling *much* easier
than the current kludge.
(as an aside, note that gksudo has been deprecated for some time now
in favor of pkexec, and is no longer included in most modern distros.
But no doubt you meant "sudo" anyway.)
