The answer to my issue was in the brief opening instruction of SravanKra's post below: "First disable the Screen Time Restrictions, if any." Specifically, Screen Time>Content & Privacy Restrictions>iTunes & App Store Purchases>Deleting Apps>Allow.

First disable the Screen Time Restrictions, if any.

There are six possibilities

Delete an offloaded App
Delete an App from the Home Screen
Remove an App from the Home Screen - Will be placed in the App Library
Delete an App from the App Library
Delete an inbuilt App - Not feasible
Delete an inbuilt App with one feature - You do not get any options either (e.g. Magnifier)
