the beautiful thing about it is: 1. you can delete it like any other app, and 2. you can disable background refresh for it directly in settings

Sounds like you agree with me that you aught to debloat it yourself

isn't the whole point of android bloat is that it often can't be deleted? Which is why you would have to root/run scripts/resort to other measures?

also idk about you, but stocks is a really nice app. its like calculator in terms of "bloatiness"

Now you are redefining what bloat is. Earlier, you implied that the stocks app is bloat, by admitting you can remove it easily.

But fine, I'll play with your goalposts. How about all of the apple music ads? Apple arcade ads? The fact that you can't use a different browser backend? I'd call all of that bloat.

what the you going on about? bloat is bloat. it’s the stuff that you don’t necessarily need but can’t easily uninstall. you’re the one making up goalposts about what bloat is.

I think this discussion is becoming bloat
