You didn't understand OP's comment and realized only after I pointed out that HE is the one with the BYOD problem where uninstall can't fix anything. I'm not the one moving the goalposts. His only option is applied outside of the client, at network level. As for the other schools, the effort they put in today bought them a week or two at most. More than enough time for the students to have "workarounds" in place and access anything they want since as you said the admin has no resources to control what's happening on the machine. But you know, it's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little; buy cheap, buy twice; poor man pays twice.
They were better off uninstalling Chrome. Firefox at least can be controlled with a config file and a script to do bulk copy, Chrome wants GPOs and without lockdown you have a ton of extensions in the store to make your DNS filtering redundant. I believe the latter is the better option but if a config file is beyond the possibilities of the school admin I expect their browsers to be fully unmanaged and at the mercy of the user. It can't be both ways.
I appreciate that you finally confirm what I said from the beginning: It is a half assed job (because doing it properly "is a luxury"). Uninstalling just kicks the problem down the road and lets "future you" deal with it a few days or weeks later.
> an app which is out of the box functionality
Begs the question why put in effort to install then uninstall it when there was no need for either. I'm not in their head but one thing's for sure, your explanation relies on conflicting argumentation. We're talking about a hypothetical Schrödinger's admin that at the same time both has and hasn't got the resources to do the work.

Cheerio.
