As it is possible for many applications to be uninstalled without their original installation media, can the option be added to the Win32 app configuration page to allow either no uninstall content or an alternate package/path as with Configuration Manager?
The rationale behind this is to avoid content unnecessarily being downloaded causing delay and to potentially facilitate offline uninstall.

Uninstallation of applications will almost require the source. Either cached and managed by the OS or provided through a payload. I normally just use the supported uninstall command line string from regedit that most applications support.
@Simon Ringrow you should be able to do this by creating new Win32 app, add dummy intunewim file and command the uninstall with powershell.
This option isn't available for Intune Win32 apps.
The uninstall content options
-UninstallOption parameter on Add-CMMsiDeploymentType.For Intune Win32 apps, uninstall behavior is controlled by the uninstall command (or script) defined in the app configuration, and by options such as Allow available uninstall. There is no equivalent setting in Intune to specify separate uninstall content or "no uninstall content" in the same way Configuration Manager does. Intune Win32 app content is handled as a single package prepared with the Win32 Content Prep Tool, and the platform does not expose a separate uninstall content path or flag.
To minimize unnecessary downloads, rely on detection rules and assignments (for example, not targeting devices where the app is already removed) rather than Configuration Manager–style uninstall content options.
