Is there any indication that the processes this post is concerned about actually do anything when Siri is disabled in the usual way?
I have no wireless interfaces enabled on my Mac, yet several Wi-Fi services are running.
My Mac doesn't support Universal Control, yet UniversalControl.app is running.
And so on.
One could certainly argue that the fact that unnecessary background processes run unconditionally is sloppy system design, but in the absence of some evidence that they materially affect system operation, I'd just as soon leave them alone.
If one's goal is to run a minimalist system, I can hardly think of a worse starting point than macOS, compared to which even Windows is at least somewhat amenable, given that both WinPE and Server Core exist as vendor-supplied examples.
I say this as a near full-time Mac user since the early '90s.
