Comment (by Otto42):

 A lot of plugins don't have "pages". The best ones are little standalone
 that have no uninstall necessary.

 But what you're asking for, an "uninstall tab", is just another tab.
 Doesn't show that people will use it. Doesn't explain why it should be top
 level. We can invent tabs all day long, but realistically we have only so
 much space to show them in.

 My suggestion would be to standardize the process. We don't need an
 install tab anymore, because the install is usually just install and
 activate the plugin. Consider standardizing the uninstall process as well.
 What would that look like? (Note that this would be a core change, not a
 meta change.)
