That’s not true anymore. Since iOS 10 you’ve been able to remove most of the built in Apple apps.

"One note on removing pre-installed apps: Don't do this if you need to free up some storage space on your iPhone or iPad. Because stock apps are part of the system bundle — some of them are deeply integrated with Siri, in fact — when you delete them, they aren't actually removed — they're just being hidden from the home screen."

Notably missing from the list of disableable apps: Safari and (for the author) Photos.

Safari can be hidden via Restrictions.
