All standard Windows apps (post-installation of OS) and dependencies which have the option of uninstall when you right-click them in the start menu are available through the Microsoft Store in my experience. When in doubt, just leave it alone. You can always just hide or remove the icon instead if it bothers you. ;)

It can't be uninstalled in the official way.
Reason:
The Your Phone app is deeply integrated into Windows to light up multiple cross-device experiences now and in the future. In order to build more of these experiences between phones, PCs, and other devices, the app can't be uninstalled.
Just stop it from working in the background and forget the app is the safest solution.
