They are probably extensions, just like pip, pocket, screenshot upload, languages, search engines, themes, etc.

Shipped by default, handled like extensions internally but not exposed to the user. You see it in the extension*.json files in your profile folder.

In that case, I want them exposed just like user-installed extensions, so it's more obvious how to get rid of them if you want.

Yeah, me too. I made once a pacman hook that empties the respective folder in /usr on update/install. I have no use for all of them and picture-in-picture is annoying to me.

Btw, i think it's mentioned somewhere in about:support too?
