Any reason not to remove all default WP plugins?

According to the Site Health screen

https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/db30405f478e9813b0cc59f81992f16eb0a29ced/src/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-site-health.php#L470

Inactive plugins are tempting targets for attackers. 
If you're not going to use a plugin, you should consider removing it.

Default plugins are Hello Dolly and Akismet.

Your hosting provider is most likely adding the other plugins you mentioned as pre-installed plugins for their customers as an extra value.

So consider removing them if you don’t plan to use them but contact your hosting provider on how you can get them (i.e. the paid ones) back if you later change your mind.
