You can't remove them with a simple command. You can't do that on other Linux distros either. For example, on Debian, I have /usr/bin/gpg: ------ $ ls -l /usr/bin/gpg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1046256 Aug 22 2019 /usr/bin/gpg ------ Then I uninstall it: ------ $ sudo apt-get remove gpg [...] $ ls -l /usr/bin/gpg ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/gpg': No such file or directory ----- But, apt-get uses gpg too, to check package signatures. It still has its own copy of gpg, so it still works. You can't remove it easily. It's the same situation, and it's not a bug.
