ListView.SelectedItem retains its value after item is removed from ListView or ListView is cleared

[andrewstellman]

Description

The .NET MAUI ListView control's SelectedItem property retains a reference to an object even after the item has been removed or the ListView has been cleared.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add an object to a ListView
2. Select the item in the ListView
3. Either remove the item from the ListView or clear the ListView
4. Call ListView.SelectedItem to get the currently selected item

Expected: ListView.SelectedItem returns null because no item is selected
Actual: ListView.SelectedItem returns a reference to the last selected object
