Not sure what the point of this all is.

Seems far easier to just use ADB. Especially rather than trusting a codebase you don't know, and an app you don't know.

I also find it better to use ADB, list all apps installed, remove what I personally choose, instead of a list by others.

It's fairly easy:

  adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.youtube    # Youtube

  adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.partnersetup    # Google Partner Setup (Some kind of inter-app sync service)
(I have a list of about 100 apps I do this with, on mainline android phones)

It's the best you'll typically get. It's deactivated, but still in the ROM of course.

How did you get adb root privilege to make that work?
