No.

  1. Siri is not an App, so there is no app to remove.
  2. Siri is built into the OS is an inextricable part of the OS and cannot be removed, you can turn it off in settings, but you cannot remove its components from the OS.
  3. Settings ➜ Apple Intelligence & Siri ➜
    1. Apple Intelligence turn it off
    2. Talk & Type to Siri, set it to off
    3. Allow Siri when locked, set it to off.
