Part 1: Why There Is No Option to Remove Device Management on iPhone/iPad?

There are two reasons why there is no option to remove MDM from iPhone or iPad.

For the first thing, it is expected that the option to remove the MDM Profile might not be available directly from the device's settings, which means the supervisor sets the option to invisible. In a supervised device, the MDM profile is installed with certain restrictions and configurations that cannot be easily removed by the device user.

For another, as a part of the iCloud backup, the MDM Profile is not located in the local storage unless you restore your device from the iCloud backup including the MDM Profile.

No, it can't. When a device is enrolled in an MDM program, the profile is installed at a system level, making it resistant to simple factory reset operations.
