Facebook isn't there because it now comes pre-installed on nearly every phone in existence, and is often baked so hard into the core OS that it's impossible to remove without flashing a custom ROM. If you're lucky you might be able to disable Meta slop without bricking core functions of the phone. Removal is usually impossible.

Oh dang. It hasn't been pre-installed on any of my phones, but I try to get close to the stock Android experience. Except now with Pixel stuff I'm not always sure what's stock and what's pixel specific.
