Its cute, and it may fill the needs of others, but I am a synaptic/command line user so the boutique is not needed. I would like to uninstall it as I usually uninstall everything I dont need. After searching through google all that comes up is how to uninstall software in the boutique. Its not a easily searched for package as numerous apt and package searches have shown me. Please, can anyone help?
Hi kilz,
it might be a part of “Welcome” but I am not sure?, maybe @Wimpy or one of the other devs can help you?. 
I searched Synaptic for the package but nothing shows. 
Yes, it's part of the ubuntu-mate-welcome package. [Edited] except on Bionic, where they are snap packages.

Thank you both for the replies.
Strangely, ubuntu-mate-welcome isnt installed. Please forgive an old Linux user who left out important information. I am running Bionic in case that makes any difference. Secondly the installer crashed when installing grub (the last step) because of the location I told it to install wasnt writable. It likely didnt clean up the install version. I did this because I didnt want to mess up the main install of this computer (a very customized Debian install with tons of hours spent making it as close to perfect as I can) and make it easier if I had to wipe and reinstall because Bionic was in development. Though from all appearances it is very nice and pretty stable.
I thought it would be nice to go back to my roots as the alphabet flipped and Mate, a fork of my favorite desktop, was available. I started on Breezy 64bit and left Ubuntu when Unity reared its ugly head.
In any event I have tried to install ubuntu-mate-welcome and remove it in case it would help but its still there,
Ah, on Bionic, as of recent daily builds, Welcome and the Boutique are installed as snap packages. Try
snap list
in a terminal. I’m not sure if it’s one snap or two separate ones. You can remove a snap with
snap remove SNAP-TO-REMOVE
Thank you very much.
