Can I uninstall Android system Easter Eggs?

Android system easter eggs are built-in, lightweight features included 
by the operating system developers. Because they are integrated into the 
system software itself rather than installed as separate applications, 
you cannot uninstall or remove them.

That's the answer from "Ask Play" on my Pixel.

https://www.androidauthority.com/android-easter-eggs-818694/ says:
The Easter egg app is a system app, so you’ll require root access to 
uninstall it. Deleting system apps is not recommended, so we advise 
users against interfering with the Easter egg app.

There are easter egg apps from the Play Store. Maybe you removed an app 
that Samsung gave you. Maybe you did remove Android's integrated egg. 
Your phones are probably broken but you don't want to tell us about that.
