You have to draw the line somewhere though. Otherwise you'd be asking everyone to build their own ROM. The benefit to galaxy devices is that you only have to install a fraction of the apps you would on something like the pixel and moreover the pre-installed apps are fully integrated with one another allowing for a much more streamlined work flow. On stock android you have to install a full on app for every basic task, even editing a screen shot requires an entire app be launched. This allows it to have smoother animations but everything ends up being a lot ckunkier and taking a lot more time. And all the hardware integrated software allows for a vast array of features that are impossible on stock android as well even with rooting and modding. Knox allows for s pay and s health to work and even let's you to run multiple simultaneous android environments at once, each recycling anything in common to only use a minimal amount of resources. It even lets you block ads and trackers globally without having to root. There are hundreds of capabilties like that that stock just can't hold a candle to and it requires zero meddling. It works perfectly fine right out of the box.
Unfortunately I've seen so many people take bad advice and install things like package disablers Greenify and not Bixby remappers which not only are not needed at all but lead to performance degradation that is then blamed in the device itself as if those problems happened to the rest of us. We have a weird situation where anyone who hates the software will find countless ways to be fooled into destroying their own devices to confirm the worse of their expectations whereas the rest of us who are using it normally are having a flawless experience.
There have even been countless tests between devices with all the supposed bloat items labeled by package disablers compared to devices left alone and the ones that were gutted always performed worse, especially after a few months. Unbeknownst to the pole encouraged to gut their devices, what they're doing amounts to deleting the system 32 folder in hopes of forcing Windows to free up ram and not expecting any repercussions.
