Well my $1800 phone has push notification ads for mobile games I can't disable because Samsung flags the Galaxy Store as a system app so you can't disable notifications. You can see here that the option is greyed out.
They also install shitty games with "security updates" every month or so.
It's ludicrous that my phone costs more than 2 different cars I've owned and I have to go through this kind of bullshit so they can make another 15 cents on average per user.

Use ADB to disable Store and AppCloud (adware/nagware that should be killed with fire). No, not the notifications, the apps themselves.

so why would you buy an $1800 phone if you can't root it and load some FOSS on it?
Because I don't want to lose my warranty on a phone with a soft plastic foldable screen.
Yeah, denying warranty for rooting is technically illegal, but knowing that doesn't do anything for me.
