Note that pm uninstall won't uninstall the app since it's a system app; it'll just uninstall updates for the app. It will spit errors if there are no updates to be uninstalled so everything is silenced. Disabling certain packages will error if they are not allowed to be enabled / disabled, so that is silenced too. We disable the packages after uninstalling them because they will become re-enabled afterwards. Then we clear all the user data.
