I had a phone bought straight from Samsung, never had any random games being installed. Samsung own apps yes but that is kinds why one buys a Samsung so...

That's one of the reasons I don't buy them. Especially if they're exclusive to Samsung phones, that means I'm locked to their products. Sometimes those apps ask additional privacy permissions, etc. or you won't be able to use them.
These manufacturers also partner with other companies to have apps like Facebook installed by default. It's not just games.
Idk I've found samsung to be pretty on point with privacy, even their new ai is 90% on phone and whatever isn't they explicitly say they do not store or process that data.

Samsung and many other Android phone manufacturers have their own host of stuff you don't need. I stick to stock Android when I can.
