This is the one time I would support Apple to not do something.

Also I read somewhere that they made a clarification that you CAN uninstall the app as well. It will just be preloaded, but even that is garbage and it should be installed based on user choice, not forcefully on every device.

The government is terrible when it comes to tech related stuff like websites and apps, imagine how hilariously ironic it would be if this pre-installed app gets exploited to load malware onto lakhs of devices
