Bloat isn't just things that you don't like. It is not uncommon for a "pointless" Samsung OS customization to make its way into stock/pixel android a few years later, at which time it will receive much praise and be considered revolutionary.

As a counterpoint:

> -All the pointless OS customizations.

I actually like Samsung's OS customizations and missed them when I switched to a Pixel.

> -Samsung-developed apps that do the same thing as extant, better Google apps.

Some of them are nice, though! I wish they would make their Notes app available on more platforms. I actually really like it!

I like their OS customizations, particularly for the Fold their taskbar and window split is great.
