My Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G had it preinstalled (I uninstalled it). The Facebook App Installer, Facebook App Manager, and Facebook Services are
not uninstallable.

What's wrong with this (copied from a recent thread on the same question)?
adb shell pm list packages | findstr 'facebook'

Disable without root

I found that when I removed facebook's app, which was pre-installed on
my phone, it came back again. I did this a few times then gave up. But I found that there are hidden apps only viewable in the settings. They
cannot be removed but they can be disabled. I disabled them and got a
warning that things might not work. I went ahead fearlessly.
Now I wonder, what information was facebook collecting, and how do I ask
them to delete it if I don't have an account?

The warning is generic, it will be displayed for anything you
uninstall or disable.
Maybe you were uninstalling/disabling services, not apps.
If an app comes preinstalled and you remove it, it will come back with
system updates from the manufacturer, so you have to be attentive and
review the list of apps after such an update.
You can also complain to the manufacturer. I did. Now the recent
models do not carry facebook, outlook, or linkedlin. If they don't
listen, change brand.

The facebook app in your phone, as it was not configured and you
didn't give it any permission (I hope), could not collect any
information.
However, facebook central may collect information of you that they get
from other resources. Depends on regulation.

The interesting question is why would Facebook be uninstallable, but
Facebook App Installer, Facebook App Manager, and Facebook Services not
be uninstallable? I don't use Facebook, Instagram, or any social media.

To my knowledge, nothing is uninstallable in the user partition.
Whether from Facebook. Or Google. Or the carrier. Or anyone else.
The user has full permission with adb to disable or uninstall anything.

This is an Android newsgroup. Not safe for old ladies & young children.
There's a joke somewhere in that above about real men don't each quiche.
I mention that I may try adb, and I am going to do so now.

Yes, I carry a laptop around with me so I can use adb to make phone
calls.

You may be new to this newsgroup but you don't need anything but the
Android phone to run a local adb on the Android phone itself you know.

Even on Android 10?

Again, you may be new to this newsgroup but a search would have shown you that it "Requires Android 8.0 and up" (I found that by doing your search).

I did a search and found this website which says make sure you are on
android 11.

Also I asked ChatGPT and it said this:
"While there are some ADB-like apps available on the Google Play Store
that claim to provide similar functionality directly on an Android
device, they are typically limited in their capabilities and may not
offer the full functionality of ADB."
