Samsung has their own proprietary Camera app, and its own proprietary Gallery app. The Google issue probably doesn't apply to you, but even though they're better than Google options, you're still locked in too.
Your mileage may vary depending on the cellphone manufacturer, but everything I've seen (Google or Samsung based) has been locked in and paired on an OS that was once beloved for having interchangeable components.
