Let's assume that they also want to be the drivers running the Bluetooth radio on the laptop. You can't have two sets of drivers controlling the same piece of hardware at the same time, so one has to go. That's one example of why an uninstall of some other software might be necessary.
It should, I repeat, should never need to uninstall anything else. It could disable the other driver, or provide instructions on how the user can disable it. However, it doesn't sound like this is what happened since both now happily work together.
