I don't want to complain too loudly about this, but I suspect that
TW on the Mac would include all of that stuff inside the application
bundle.  If that's the case, they're never used here.

OK, I reinstalled it and updated, then tried to remove again.

I checked the tlpobj, and it appears to have the relevant files, but they
aren't being removed.  Guess I could try reverting texlive.infra and see
if that makes a difference?
