Can I safely remove fwupd* packages from Linux Mint 21.3 desktop?

# apt-get --simulate remove 'fwupd*'

...

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  libfwupdplugin5
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  fwupd fwupd-signed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Remv fwupd [1.7.9-1~22.04.3]
Remv fwupd-signed [1.51.1~22.04.1+1.4-0ubuntu0.1]

It appears harmless to remove, but I am unsure if e.g. the OS needs it for something? *** For completeness, I attach the output of refresh command:

# fwupdmgr refresh
