You can perfectly install an uninstall flatpaks in Linux as normal user.

Wrong. You can install Flatpak apps as a user, which are very similar to apps on Android.
Considering how difficult it still can be to get root on Android, I understand the shade, though.
It requires an unlocked bootloader and an installed recovery
Thanks. I’m aware of that…
I’m running NixOS and my entire desktop environment is installed and managed without root.

That’s not true at all. You generally can’t use your distribution’s package manager to install or uninstall without elevated privileges. But you can download packages, or executables with their own installer, and unpack/install under your home directory. Or, you can compile from source, and if you ./configure’d it properly make install will put it under your home.
Standard Linux distributions don’t place restrictions on what you can and cannot execute; if it needs permissions for device access of course you’ll need to sort that out.

Or by connecting an Android phone to a computer, enabling USB debugging, launching a terminal and typing
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.package.name.of.app
No root needed!
That’s not exactly a safe, recommended or foolproof way. Adb carries a lot of risks
