I can send photos from my Nikon D3400 to a smartphone with SnapBridge. Is there any way to transfer photos directly to a Windows or Mac computer over Bluetooth, or do I need to use a USB cable or remove the SD card?

No you'll need to use the USB Cable or SD Card as you guessed. You can review all the features of SnapBridge on Nikon's site: http://nikonimglib.com/snbr/onlinehelp/en/index.html

In theory there's no reason why Nikon couldn't come up with an app for Windows/Mac to do the same thing as is done to the smart device but so far they have no put anything out to do that.

No—on the D3400, Bluetooth transfer via SnapBridge is intended for a smart device, not direct transfer to a Windows or Mac computer. For moving photos to a PC, the practical options are:

  • connect the camera with a USB cable, or
  • remove the SD card and use a card reader/computer slot.

A workaround is to send images to your phone first and then sync them to cloud storage (for example, a photo backup service) so you can access them from your computer. But that is not a direct Bluetooth camera-to-PC transfer.
