Your Phone Companion

Hello. I have an S10+
During a recent scan I noticed an app called Your Phone Companion, which I'd never seen before and never installed myself.

My question is, does this app come pre-installed on Android phones and I just never noticed it before? Or did it get pushed out with a software update? I know it's a legitimate Windows app, but I never installed it and I don't want it on my phone. I also noticed that when I went to the app list and clicked on this app, there's no option to uninstall it, only a 'force stop' button. Should I be concerned? And how can I get this app off my phone?

Thanks in advance!
