Learn it. Love it. Quit acting helpless. Use it to remove "ContentDeliveryManager" and any other component that offends you which you might be able to do with DISM commands to a live system.
Will the offending components be re-added in the next update? Sure. Just disable windows update and rebuild the base ISO with https://uupdump.ml/ to the latest CU and re-run the removal process in MSMG and update via a repair install every time.
Will you break your system? Oh my yes. The little nonsensical dependencies these components have...but you just rerun it with different options till it works the way you want and do the repair install overtop.
Is this unreasonable? Probably, but it's what you need to do to keep control.
Also, you don't have to do a clean install with this. Just repair install with your frankensteined ISO over top of whatever you have now and it will update you to that state.
They left something out. They also sell them off in grab bag crates and there are stores now where they just dump these random returns into bins and sell whatever is in there as-is for $1-$5 per item (depending on the day and whatever special they are having). People go to these bin stores and buy up the good items and then resell them yet again on e-bay and facebook marketplace and make good money. THAT is capitalism at it's finest.
Edit: I hadn't found the "view system apps" button on the normal app page. New phone.
But you can disable it from there. Whatever Disable really means...
So under apps you have Facebook and Facebook App Manager....but that's not all.
I installed F-Droid and DNS66 (I don't have root yet) and if you tell it to show system apps you see that there is also something called Facebook App Installer (com.facebook.system) which is not visible on the regular Apps list so there is no button to stop/disable.
Just a little PSA. Make sure your phone is rootable before you buy:P
So there is this handy little utility called the MSMG Toolkit. You'll have to make a junk login for the forum but it's well worth it.

Basically, you can modify your ISO so annoying things like Windows Store, Cortana, Edge, every single app, all kinds of things just aren't there when you do your clean install or upgrade from DVD. Not "disabled"...I mean not there at all. It's not the most user friendly thing in the world but there is a handy youtube video where the dude walks you through it.
It's like of like that old utility nLite for windows XP except without a pretty GUI.
Makes the new Windows 10 experience a lot more tolerable.
Yea, it's starting to drive me crazy watching people complain about this.
So you don't like the new UI so you can:
1. Reconfigure it to look the way you want.
2. Change to another browser that looks the same as the one you are complaining about and gives you no customizability whatsoever.
When I upgraded to 4.0 way back when, I chose option #1 and never looked back.
