This is because there are Screen Time restrictions set on your iPhone and that is preventing you from deleting the apps.

If you are the Screen Time administrator then open Settings ➔ Screen Time ➔ Content & Privacy Restrictions ➔ iTunes & App Store Purchases ➔ Deleting Apps and switch this setting to Allow.
