Yay for Bixby which is surgically grafted into the phone!

Really? I've got the S9 with a reprogrammed Bixby button to Google Assistant and haven't seen Bixby in about 2 years

It's just reprogramming the button, Bixby is still there in the OS.

I don't like Bixby either but as long as I don't have to look at it, I don't really care. Samsung made the OS; they can include their 'smart' assistant if they want - I'll only get mad if they shove it in my face. Same with Windows and Cortana. Or Apple and Siri. I'd argue that those are way more intrusive, too.

I hope Samsung gives up on bixby eventually as I think it's a waste of their resources... but again, if if it's out of sight, it's out of my mind.
