Try using the LessPhone[0] launcher. I have used it off and on and had some success with it. It locks you down to a slim set of apps (configurable), in a plain black and white interface. It's not perfect, but it's helpful.

Thank you! This is close to what I am looking for. I'll give it a shot and see if it addresses my problem.

update1: Hmm. So it doesn't exactly address the core problem, which is I can still easily access those other apps that I wish to uninstall. So in a way, this app helps by making the UI less enticing to click on, but it doesn't address the core problem, which is to fully uninstall.

On Android if you have Digital Wellbeing you can set a timer for each app. Just set it at 1min for Chrome
