This is necessary because these style files are not at CTAN but are LyX specific things. People who wanted to use them couldn't because they have to be registered to LaTeX before they can be used. The uninstaller of course uninstalls everything that was installed with LyX when you uninstall LyX.
You can find the LyX-specific style files here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_5_X/lib/tex regards Uwe
