FYI, there are numerous threads about this. Deleting apps should be possible but the actual implementation should be decided by the designers/developers. By way of example you mentioned uninstalling and lots of people uninstall apps on a regular basis (me for instance) as it frees up space for other apps. I wouldn't want them removed from my account in any way as I can try them again a release or two later.
"Delete" on the other hand should remove the app from your account (after confirming that deleting is irreversible). There are apps that are no longer supported, no longer online, no longer in business. They don't run and installing them makes no sense even though one can still install them.
We aren't really talking permanently removing from your account, but more of not having it be the default app list that all historical apps show up on the main menu, but just having the current installed list be the default when you click the apps icon.

Again I would leave the actual implementation to those responsible for the development and maintenance of the app. But I will suggest that there are reasons for completely removing an app from an account. AltSpaceVR is no longer maintained and will no longer run no matter how many times one installs it. There is no reason to reinstall something that won't work. Some software are virtual "scams" trying to get one involved in crypto for instance. If we won't install it again there is no reason for it to be on our account.
As for the default list... I'll suggest (as a long-time software developer) that it should be a user option. Let the user decide. They might want their side-loaded apps to show it shouldn't be up to a vote.
