Would love to see actual numbers my Android and PC OEMs receive to install bloatware.
I bet it's not even any substantial sums, just enough to get some beancounter to push for it.

Such a shame because the hardware is nice.
The idea being that if all phones ran the same software no one would choose their phone on brand but rather on what particular phone was best suited for their needs.
But that's not good enough, manufacturers create a custom feel solely because customers will get accustomed and need to relearn if they choose another manufacturer.
It doesn't matter if their software is worse than stock (and they all are (much much) worse), the only thing that matters is that it is unique.
