MSI InstallFinalize ARP removal condition - installation

Question

I'm trying to configure WiX to build an installer so that I can activate Features via Properties provided by the commandline and migrate them to the next upgrade.
When trying to do a MajorUpgrade with my WiX-installer the upgrade does not remove the previous version from the ARP-Menü. Every other Feature/Component seems to be removed before the reinstall (the log lists them). This problem only occurs if I activated a feature during the previous version via a Property provided by the commandline.
ARP-entry of v1 gets removed:
msiexec /L*v install.log /i installerv1.msi
msiexec /L*v install.log /i installerv2.msi
ARP-entry of v1 does not get removed:
msiexec /L*v install.log /i installerv1.msi EXTRAFEATURE=true
msiexec /L*v install.log /i installerv2.msi EXTRAFEATURE=true
alternatively
msiexec /L*v install.log /i installerv1.msi EXTRAFEATURE=true
msiexec /L*v install.log /i installerv2.msi
(The ProductCode, PackageCode and Product Version differ between v1 and v2, the UpgradeCode stays the same)
Simplified WiX config:
<Product Id="$(var.CPACK_WIX_PRODUCT_GUID)"
Name="$(var.CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME)"
Language="1031"
Version="$(var.CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION)"
Manufacturer="$(var.CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR)"
UpgradeCode="$(var.CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID)">
<Package InstallerVersion="301"
InstallScope="perMachine"
Compressed="yes"
Description="$(var.CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME)"
Keywords="!(loc.PackageKeywords)"
Comments="!(loc.PackageComments)"/>
<MajorUpgrade
Schedule="afterInstallValidate"
AllowSameVersionUpgrades="yes"
DowngradeErrorMessage="!(loc.DowngradeErrorMessage)"/>
<FeatureRef Id="ProductFeature"/>
<FeatureRef Id="ExtraFeature"/>
<Property Id="EXTRAFEATURE" Secure="yes"/>
<Feature Id="ExtraFeature" Level="0">
<Condition Level="1">EXTRAFEATURE</Condition>
<ComponentRef Id="ExtraFeature"/>
</Feature>
...
</Product>
Looking into the log I only see one difference: The InstallInitialize step does not trigger the generation of the script to remove the ARP-entry.
Working example:

In the docs for InstallFinalize (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/installfinalize-action) I found this description:
If it is detected that the product is marked for complete removal, operations are automatically added to the script to remove the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel information for the product, to unregister and unpublish the product, and to remove the cached local database from %WINDOWS%, if it exists.
I cannot find any documentation regarding the condition when the ARP-entry gets removed. Why does adding the feature prevent the triggering of the ARP-removal?

Answer 1

The feature is disabled, so it's not being removed.
