Google, apparently, lists all it's products here: https://about.google/intl/en_us/products/#all-products - I'd never heard of Google Duo.
Also, you cannot remove it. You can uninstall the icon, but the underlying code is so deeply integrated into the OS that people can still call you and you will get a Duo video call even after uninstalling it.
Quite a menace.
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.
