Buddy, there has been an un-removable Facebook app on literally every version of Android right from the very beginning. Not every handheld model for sure, but at least one model in every generation from the very beginning has had Facebook and other apps burned indelibly into the operating system. Before we even had smartphones, your flip phone came with utterly indelible versions of Facebook and others. And you'll be shocked to hear this I'm sure, but the very lowest level code that governs the radio in your phone is legally mandated to be managed by your service provider, and essentially always has been. None of this is new. Not in the slightest. It's not even worse nowadays except that the apps themselves got more malicious. There aren't more baked in apps than before, and they aren't any more un-removable. The most important code on your device isn't yours, it never has been.
