Yes, but a lot of devices don't support getting root access, or come with caveats from doing so (I remember at least on Sony devices in the past, doing so permanently erased the proprietary camera blobs which resulted in forever low quality pictures).
That being said, you can disable system apps in Android (with exceptions, can't disable SystemUI obviously) which is about as good as deleting them. Since they're on the system partition which is separate from the user data partition, it doesn't actually grant you any usable free space anyways AFAIK.
It takes them back to stock, which usually gives you since space back
True, that's a fair point, one which I forgot about!
I remember disabling the Keyboard app on my phone with root
After that, I was unable to log in to the phone due to the inability to enter a password
I had to restore it from the phones BIOS
Hopefully one can plug in a USB keyboard and it allows you to enter your password if this happens again!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Eh, if you have root access, you can move things back and forth to the system partition if you want to make different use of the space. Not that that's a good idea, but you can do it. You'd be better off going the custom rom route if you need the space that much. Or it used to be better; no idea if the current options for roms actually do it the same.
