Is there a package manager for Android to mass reinstall apps after a factory reset?

I have a OnePlus 8 Pro, and I’m looking for an easier way to restore my apps after a factory reset.
On Windows, there are package managers like [Ninite](https://ninite.com/) that let you maintain a list of apps and reinstall them all at once, instead of downloading each one manually.
I’d like to know if something similar exists for Android:
* Keep a list of all my installed apps.
* After a factory reset, reinstall one package manager from the Play Store.
* Use it to reinstall all my apps from the saved list in bulk.
Is there an Android tool, app, or method that works like this? Or is Google’s built-in backup/restore the only option?
While researching, I found that you can do something like this with ADB:
adb shell pm list packages -3 > apps.txt
However, I’m not sure if this also includes preinstalled apps. Is there a way to export only the apps I’ve installed from the Play Store?
> IMPORTANT: The apps are installed from multiple sources: Aurora Store,
> F-Droid, and GitHub
