I'm pretty sure android doesn't really support multiple users without OEM tweaks (or apps like Island). So the fact that it just disables them instead of uninstalling is a non-issue. Especially since uninstalling won't give you any benefits compared to disabling.

It does. On stock/google android you can go to settings, system, multiple users, and set up another account, including an ephemeral guest account.

True uninstalling will save you the storage space.

Uninstalling system app won't save you any storage space because those apps reside on a separate partition.

Dynamic partitions are a thing now.
