I'd call it an Android issue, as the OS lets vendors force uninstallable apps into their devices.
You don't get it. Samsung modifies Android to the extent that it's barely recognisable anymore. If you want to experience a pure Android experience, get a Google Pixel or flash your own ROM
Samsung's software is garbage and the main reason I will never buy their phones no matter how great their hardware is
Amen.
Their "superior hardware" means nothing when the software is so garbage, the camera lags. The phone is full of bloatware despite buying it outright and unlocked. The phone pushes ads into every fucking app. The phone shows you a "themes" button on your homescreen, but then takes you to the store to buy more.. like wtf? I don't want to be shown price tags when I just dropped $2,000 on this phone. At least come pre-installed with a couple Samsung supported themes!?
The difference is, Samsung isn't able to modify for example their Windows devices like this, which is why I say the root issue lives in the OS level. It's one thing to bundle vendor software in, it's another when that OS has a feature in which you only let the owner of the device disable, not uninstall, said software.
That's because windows is closed source, duh. The beauty of Android is that you have the option to flash the version you want. You just choose to stick with the worst out of all Android versions and then complain about it lol
You're like a boomer complaining about Internet Explorer being slow
