When Windows started getting pre installed bloatware is around the time I made my full switch to Linux. When Samsung phones started doing the same, I switched away from them too. Srsly, I will become a luddite before I use any devices that force apps I don't want on me. It's abusive and shouldn't be legal.

I don't know where this quote originated. I first heard it from my future SO and it goes something like this
