Should not.

Remember that the Operating System is not those Applications. So the answer is no.

However I don't expect to see a benefit in any way by doing this.

1. Why? What harm do they do at the moment?
2. What exactly do you want to disable?
3. How do you plan to do it?

No, but at the same time it's unlikely to significantly HELP anything either.
