Google Assistant listed in /e/ System Apps

but they are still there,

This would be expected for this deep running app (which I agree should surely not be there). Just to explain what you are seeing, the command

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.hotwordenrollment.okgoogle

does only uninstall for --user 0 (that is you!).

It is still there and it is not a root uninstall. So the system can can on using it, (while you cannot!)
