How can it do that?

And won't people just use piracy websites?

And Google already scans users phones and deletes apps?

it's an emergency function that google silently introduced in all phones years ago. Theoretically it should be used if an app is widespread malware

What do I need to uninstall to disable this 'feature'?

No, since on GrapheneOS Google Play Store/Services doesn't have permission to silently install/uninstall apps. They are sandboxed like any other app (i.e. F-Droid).

Neat, thanks! Makes me even more grateful that I decided to switch.
