Samsungs have always contained lots of bloat relative to other OEMs. Don't you remember how god-awful Touchwiz was?

Shit, the S4 had only 8GB space usable on a 16GB phone.

You could, and this was before banks and such blocked your device if it was rooted. Still wasn’t accessible to most, and if you had a carrier variant you were probably out of luck.

ive had 2 old touchwhiz phones, i often replace the home screen of my phone and on one of them, event the notification shade. On the old s5, featues didnt mesh well and on both the notification shade was an awful unchangable theme. I once made a touchwhiz phone un-factory-resettable
