Confirmed, though it's unclear whether we want this. If we did do it, I bet we'd get bug reports about it. :/
Comment 2 twinshadows404 2021-06-15 22:18:03 UTC 
I don't think people uninstall programs such as firefox or chrome often if ever.

It's inconsistent when compared to bookmarked icons on the Application Launcher; those get removed with the app.
