Why isn’t there a delete option on an app in the App Library?

iPhone X, iOS 14

If there is no delete option on any app, there may be a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.
