Android can show you alerts even without the Apple app https://support.google.com/android/answer/13658562?hl=en

If you are running Android <11 then apps could see the list of apps installed on the device https://developer.android.com/training/package-visibility
Pure speculation (and how I would do it) is to have apps A, B, C check periodically the list of installed packages and if one of them disappeared from the list I would trigger this survey. Of course that requires that all apps are from the same developer, and it won't trigger this survey on the last app uninstall
Google is on its way to release its own Find my device network with "Airtag" like products https://9to5google.com/2023/05/10/android-find-my-device-trackers/
Sadly, it got postponed https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/27/23810052/google-find-my-device-delay-apple-unknown-tracker-alerts-stalking, and we don't know when it will be available. My guess (that's 100% based on nothing) is that we will get a date during Google Pixel event
He's so cool
I use Home Assistant for that
