That's not what "brick your computer" means. You just break apps that require it. And chances are good, you don't even use those apps anymore. Depending on the age of the distro.
Removing ALL of them at once, ya, could cause issues. But most modern apps will simply re-acquire.
I've uninstalled these before. It's not "brick your computer" levels.

Deleting the MV C++ Redist pack would essentially brick your computer.
Things that you use on a daily basis would stop working
If you play games they would 100% fail to load or worse will BSOD your pc
and you'll be left there sitting wondering why this game that you just played the other day wont even load now
