It's a known issue:
How to make an application uninstallable from Windows 11 Settings
This page:
"Note: Some apps can't be uninstalled from the Settings app right now. For help uninstalling these apps, follow the instructions to uninstall from Control Panel."
Installers created using Qt Installer Framework (4.8 at the time of writing) appear to be subject to the above restriction i.e. the uninstaller fails to launch from Settings but behaves as expected when launched from Control Panel. Furthermore there is no affordance around the failure to launch that will help the user to discover this.
What does an uninstaller need to implement in order for it to work from the Settings App?

Please ensure the app is listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and "displayname", "uninstallstring" are configured. Compare the registry key cocnfigurations with other apps listed here (shown in Apps setting UI).
