I have several apps not related to the operating system that cannot be disabled. Why should this be as any app a user has active could be a security risk and cause problems by laying dormant and possibly responding to internet or other apps.

An example is the Email app client. I use the provider's app client for email and not another app client. Example gmail I use their Gmail client. So why can't I disable the email app? it's grayed out.

No elaboration on "because it shows all apps?
I initially made attempts with Samsung but they never acknowledge the issue. hence the hiding of apps that can't be disabled in new android versions.

i dont know what u mean no elaboration on "because shows all apps" because it does what do u want me to do to prove? ive worked on Samsung phones and custom roms for good 7yrs i do know what im talking about . it shows all system apps and priv apps and vendor apks installed on ur device . from pie and below u could uninstall those apps with third party apps but after pie you can only disable unless u have root then you can do whatever u like. yes Samsung should allow bloatware to be uninstalled but im not Samsung.

I find the best you can do is hide them, the old out of sight out of mind thing
