What's wrong with just not downloading applications you do not want to use? You could make the argument against iOS that you can't delete some default applications but... just don't use them.

Apple Watch with LTE mostly fulfills this. And the screen is so small that it’s not worth it to port more addictive apps.

Hum... I thought about that, but you need an iPhone to link it too. If I could just by the watch I'd do it!

I'm surprised Lyft/Uber hasn't been brought back yet. It would be extremely useful to have on hand now with the cellular model.

Uber is still on WatchOS and it works independently with LTE: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/uber-request-a-ride/id36867736...

At least with android you can disable apps (even those that are built in). Of course you need a discipline to not enable them back.

If you really serious, you can set up parental controls with whitelisted apps on most phones.
