    I never buy phones from carriers, always directly from manufacturers, so no idea. Manufacturer bloat can be deleted pretty straightforward.

      You do understand that you’re not in the majority?

      The root problem is that Android lets carriers “enhance” their devices with crapware and also make it hard or impossible to install without technical know-how

        I don’t know anybody buying those crappy carrier deals, to be honest. They had a place and time in the early 2000s, but beyond that they seemed to die out mostly. Maybe still a thing in the US, no idea.
