Built-in apps are merely frontends, the actual functionality is tightly integrated into the OS in the form of daemons running in the background. I very much doubt removing the frontend app disables any of the daemons, especially considering these can be used to provide APIs that apps may rely upon.

Luckily a lot of these can be disabled when jailbroken: https://i.imgur.com/KhGmGrf.png

It's unfortunate that you need to exploit a (different) vulnerability in order to gain full control of your devices.

What app is that?
I tried to get into cydia and such as of late, and it's a confusing ecosystem, you need to find specific marketplace links from github to browse and then alot of stuff is very legacy and not organized.
Would love to jb but it is complicated.

It's iCleaner Pro. Here's the repo you can add in Cydia: https://ib-soft.net/
I wonder if this can still be triggered when the Home application has been removed from the device? I expect so as IIRC builtin-in application removal is really just hiding them and all the functions are part of priviledged bundles shipped with the OS.
