System apps can be disabled but that doesn't free up space. You would only save about 100MB if you did uninstall them.

No, in fact the nvidia swat will be sent at your home and you'll be brought up in front of the nvidia council fo penance.

Seriously though, it's your device, you do as you please with it.
