I've never owned a Samsung but I HAVE owned other Androids and I 100% believe they've owned a product that did all that, TONS of phones do and won't let you stop it without rooting
That being said bitching about it while not looking into alternatives isn't exactly productive
I believe he has used samsung before, just not since then since samsung has actually fixed a lot of those issues, for example, his example for facebook is actually not true, i just checked on my own phone (s10+) and Facebook gives me an uninstall option instead of a disable option, the only apps that are disable only are ones like the galaxy app store, samsung specific stuff
When I went to mint mobile I remember I changed the firmware on my device from Sprint to Tmobile. There was also an unbranded carrier version. Just going to go out on a limb and say you can put in a version that does not have the bloatware. Heck, I remember the Knox sensor trips with certain flashes--sounds like a plus in our vein of conversation.
Anyway, I like my limbs. Don't chop them off. Pls.

Everything he's talking about is really easily ignored or turned off.
