Edit: Okay. As a test, I tried uninstalling Gmail, since I use a different email app. I got the familiar old message "Do you want to uninstall all updates to this Android system app?"

So I guess you can't uninstall them. you can disable them and replace them with something else, as I did replacing Gmail with AquaMail.
I was about to ask how it would be possible to interact with the play store without a google account when I saw your edit.

I thought it was to good to be true regarding uninstall.
