That's interesting. I have a Fairphone 3 with a stock Android 10 and it does not come with the Duo pre-installed. The icon for video chats in Contacts app is greyed-out. After installing the Google Duo, it becomes active.

Is it possible to remove/deactivate it via adb or other tools?

I haven't tried, I don't mess with my phone too much because I don't want to trip the Knox fuse.

I'm surprised an Android 10 phone does not have Duo pre-installed. Does it have the standard Play store and associated google apps?

Duo has 1 billion+ installs in play store, which basically means they pre-installed it on every phone.

Yes, it is a standard Play Store / Google Services on Fairphone. However, it comes with a very small amount of applications pre-installed. I was really surprised when I turned it on for the first time.
