Thank you for reporting a bug to Unity. After reviewing the behavior, we've confirmed it aligns with the current design and intended use of the feature. We understand this may differ from your expectations or workflow. We will close this case as 'As Designed.' If you have feedback on how the feature could better meet your needs, please let us know - we value your input and consider it in future improvements.

Reproduction steps:
1. Create a new project
2. Window > Package Management > Package Manager > Unity Registry
3. Install all packages of any of the Features separately (e.g. ProBuilder, FBX Exporter and Terrain Tools of 3D World Building Feature)
4. Install Feature that contains previously installed packages (e.g. 3D World Building Feature)
5. Click “Remove” button of newly installed Feature and observe the packages

Actual result: All packages included in the Feature remain installed after the Feature is removed
Expected result: All packages included in the Feature are uninstalled when the Feature is removed

Reproducible with: 6000.0.69f1, 6000.3.10f1, 6000.4.0b11, 6000.5.0a8

Reproduced on: macOS Tahoe 26.3 (M4)
