I stumbled upon Canta & Shizuku which when combined can enable removal of (system level) apps on Android devices. I haven’t gone crazy removing stuff however I am following cautiously the lists of recommended and safe apps.
Have installed Shizuku and Canta on my two devices. Indeed simpler than my ‘old fashioned’ but trusted use of laptop and adb. Appears to do the same job and just as well.
I don’t want to just uninstall the updates

yeah, kind of defeats the entire purpose, when the thing can simply update itself and keeps acting like a rootkit.
