Why can't we remove the Stocks app?

Why will Apple not allow us to remove their stock apps that we never use like the Stocks app? I have not used it on purpose on any device in 14 years. Is it due to its usage on some watch faces?

Apple Watch Series 8

You can delete the Stocks app from your phone. Usual method-- touch, hold, wiggle, X, say you really mean it a couple of times. This seems to remove it from the watch, as well.
