Maybe you guys think so highly of yourselves? I stand by my point, it is your computer and they can be deleted. Not as easily as any other application (because they rest on the protected system volume), but you can do it nevertheless. And there can be systemwide consequences for messing with the system volume. I said "I think" because I know how macOS works. I have not personally tried it because it is a pointless exercise, they are small utilities, and you won't be able to utilize the space you gain from deleting those anyways. They reside on a read-only partition, a space that is signed for system integrity, and if they were not there, it would just be empty space that you can't use. There is no point. But YES, you can delete them. You won't gain anything by doing so, you'll just lose.
