As ALL other already mentioned and some additional information >>
In macOS 11 Big Sur, macOS 12 Monterey and macOS 13 Ventura.
The Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that can not be opened by the User nor by Third Party Applications.
The only Entity that can open and modify or alter this Volume is Apple.
That would occur when a update or UpGrade is performed.
You can Remove the Application from the Dock but it will remain in the Applications Folder
If none of the suggestions are to the Users liking.

I don't smoke, but i wouldn't leave butts on the ground. I don't want apps that aren't being used taking up real estate anywhere.
The Freeform Application maybe useful to many Other Users but just not to some.
Like yourself, I do not find a need for the application though it is niece to have it available should that need arise.
As for Space the application holds on the drive.
Viewing the Get Info for Freedom Application - it uses 50.3 MB of space on the drive.
That could be equal to 1 Music file of your favourite Artist or perhaps 2 Pictures of yourself posted some Social Media Site
Rather small by comparison
You cannot; the OS is in an inaccessible portion of your hard drive and apps that are part of the system cannot be dleleted. They do not take up much space, so why do you feel you need to get rid of it?
As others have pointed out, you can't. Just like you can't uninstall Preview, Safari, Mail... or any other of the applications that ship as part of macOS.
You can remove it from your Dock, and you won't have to see it if you don't want to.
May I ask why you'd want to remove this one app specifically?
Sorry, but Apple's security measures mean that anything that is part of the system (OS) is in a read only section which means it cannot be altered. That also means that a virus cannot penetrate and do harm, so I'd rather have a few apps I never use than having to worry about unwanted intruders.

You’ve got your answer. There are a number of apps that can’t be deleted because they are integrated with macOS. You cannot delete Mail or Safari either. So your choice is to continue being annoyed or angry, or just live it and don’t use those apps. I chose long ago to ‘don’t worry, be happy'
No can do. As part of the OS, it is locked away in a read only portion of your hard drive. This prevents system alterations that may affect security.
+ 1 and welcome back 😀
Thanks for providing comparisons and context.
