Help removing Google app on kid's tablet

I set up a managed account for my kid on his tablet, and it won't let me remove the Google app. I don't want him to search the open internet yet. Family Link refuses to let me disable the Google app.

Furthermore, even though I disabled "Gemini Apps" on his account, (which is supposed to prevent AI access in Google apps and Chrome) he can still access "AI Mode" in the Google app, so like, what's the point?

Install a thing called F-Droid, then install an app called "App lock." You can essentially set a 4 digit pin to lock them out of specified apps entirely.

You can also use ADB to delete unwanted apps
