I'm either confusing you with someone else (very possible) or have a
vague recollection of you discussing having a google Ads account in the
past, may be related?

13
It's there on my Android 13 (MIUI 14).
Can you "see" the package name of the app, e.g. com.android.partnersetup
or whatever, sometimes if it's an app that's been renamed, the package
name will giveaway what it was previously known as.

So do you have a 'Google Partner Setup' 'update' in your list of updates
in the Play Store app?

No, just one update from my energy supplier.
Oddball situations where an update appears as if it's a new app can
occur when they reuse an old package name, On my Huawei tablet, I do
have 'Google Partner Setup' v100.538221588 installed on 6th june 2023

Definitely not me; another Jeff perhaps? I'd rather juggle with bubbles
of anthrax than become a partner of Google in any way!
The only thing I can find is that the apk is:
com.google.android.partnersetup
App version is 100.448391512
Do you not have that on your phone?
Personally, I would like to be so bold as to cast doubt that it's "new".
"Google Partner Setup is an application that helps applications
work with Google products in tandem. As a result, every app you
download can operate with Google applications smoothly. However,
it comes preinstalled in the Android OS, raising some questions
about its need in the community. Let┬ understand about the
Google Partner Setup app in detail in this article."

I like Jeff Layman but I must echo Andy Burns' request for Jeff to take a moment to find the unique package name before asking about core modules.
My suggestion to find the package name for Jeff is the same I use.
1. Install a good package manager (e.g., MuntashirAkon App Manager).
<https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager/>
2. Search in that package manager for keywords related to the app.
(I searched for "partner" for example, and this is what resulted.)
Google Partner Setup <com.google.android.partnetsetup>
Bookmark Providers <com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks>
3. In my Android 13, this Google Partner Setup was uninstalled during my
en masse adb removal of all packages that had Google in the name.
The "Bookmark Providers" slipped through the cracks, likely because
it didn't rear its ugly head by having the Gword in its name. :)
I made only a quick apk search for that name & AF didn't find it.

The reason is that it has been many months since I wiped out apps with the gword in the name - and this app clearly was one of those I had wiped out.
<https://i.postimg.cc/2ybC5fMC/googlepartnersetup02.jpg>
But for those who did not wipe it out, you can _always_ get an installation date & an installation source (which we covered many times in gory detail).
<https://i.postimg.cc/tTDKWR8h/sortbyinstalldate.jpg>
So I ask the OP to bring up the list of all apps & when they were installed and by which method they were installed (e.g., F-Droid vs Play Store, etc.)
I've been a bit busy for a day or so, but I'll download the f-droid apk tomorrow, and follow up with the MuntashirAkon App Manager.
I had a look
for them in the Play Store, but found that one wasn't available for some reason. Some others seemed ok, but others appeared to want to nose
around a bit too much!
3. In my Android 13, this Google Partner Setup was uninstalled during my

How long ago was that?
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.partnersetupYou can always re-install any package you remove as easily as pie.
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.partnersetup

That, and the previous jpg above, appear to suggest that the 2008-12-31
date is the only one mentioned. What puzzles me is that "Google Partner Setup" seems to only have been given that name fairly recently. Did it
exist in 2008? If not, any idea why is it being reported as such?

I hope to get around to it tomorrow, but I think Andy and others might
have already answered the question. I don't at present use F-Droid, so anything I have will have come from the Play Store.

Rest assured, I pick the finest apps possible, so if I'm using the MuntashirAkon App Manager, rest easily that it's the best there is.
Likewise with Skyica's App Finder used to scrape the Google Play Store - which everyone can use because it connects to the Google Play Store app.
You absolutely cannot get better apps than those two apps, IMHO...
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scadica.aq>
<https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager/>
Like most apps that are the best, they're both also available on
the PC where you download them there which is the same as Android.

MuntashirAkon isn't on the Google Play Store. Dunno why not but a lot of
the best apps on the planet aren't on the Google Play Store, so it's
normal.
Examples, offhand, are NewPipe & the full version of NetGuard, both of
which are so powerful in terms of what they do that Google doesn't like it.

So long ago that I don't remember when. Certainly months. Maybe even a year or more as I got this phone about a year ago as a warranty replacement
about a year ago and that's when I would have set it up like I always do.
If you're worried about removing it breaking your phone karma, use the
method I suggested in the past which is remove packages one at a time.
Then wait a week or two to see if they hurt anything. Keep a log.
C:\> adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.partnersetup
You can always re-install any package you remove as easily as pie.
C:\> adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.partnersetup
Note the keyword of "existing" in the command above?
I think that's because the APK is always in the system partition.
We're just removing it from the user partition.
It's still there... like _every_ app that has to be removed this way.
Notice this means there is no risk whatsoever, but a lot of people fear everything (just look at the Apple newsgroups if you don't believe me).
Me?
I uninstall every app with the Gword in the name & I only re-install those that cause all sorts of problems (which is very few in the end).
I installed AppManager, but had a devil of a job getting it past the "Disclaimer" screen. I had to run it 3 times, but I eventually got past.
I've no idea why it was objecting!
Anyway, searching for "Partner" shows, for Google Partner Setup:
100.448391
com.google.android.partner.setup
01/01/2009 (not 31/12/2008!) 10188
Maybe someone else knows why some original apps have such old dates.
a. The app "claims" to do everything but your kitchen dishes
MuntashirAkon isn't on the Google Play Store.
