Why is that a big deal? It's bundled with Android. At least it was with mine. That's like Microsoft bragging about the number of File Explorers installed.

Or Nintendo having Wii Sports be the most bought game.
And yet Amaze on F-Droid is probably a better product.
Amaze utilities is more comparable. It has many utilities which can replace Google Files.
Personally, I prefer Material Files, but yeah, there are much better options that Files by Google.
Using cd, ls, mv and cp in Termux is probably better than Google Files.
Just annoying that Termux only works in the owner profile of a phone...
Why is that impressive? On older Android version it was force installed at some point, and since android 6 or 7 it comes bundled with the OS and can't be disabled.
Exactly.
Those circus numbers shouldn't even count.
It's fucking "uninstallable" bloatware like all things Google.
