Removal of Google Play Music as a system application

[Vamp]

Model Name: ROG II
Firmware Version: .75
Rooted or not: Not
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app): Google Play Music

Since Google play music had been discontinued and replaced by YouTube Music for quite a while now and I was hoping that .75 update will allow us to uninstall Google play music, but it doesn't. So, how do we uninstall (not disable) it without ADB.
Do we expect it's removal as a system application in the next FOTA

Brought this up long ago. Glad to see that it wasn't looked at.

Oems aren't compelled to remove it and now google officially allows you to hide the apps so there's that
Disable and hide it should be the best option

I know an which called APK Installer. Using this app, you can easily remove system app like the Play Music.

You need root to do that.
