As opposed to Samsung and Apple? Right...
I'd say Samsung is comparable, but Apple... Isn't the goal of buying an iPhone to have a closed environment? (or was)
Yeah other commenter was incorrect. They’re sold with only a basic collection of first-party apps (even the carrier locked devices, so far).
To get one with third-party apps pre-installed requires special provisioning meant for employee work phones. (If you come across one of these in the wild, ask the seller to reset in front of you. If the bloatware remains, odds are the device was recently stolen.)
Samsung from a phone vendor like Verizon is bloated, but not one from Samsung (well, except the Samsung crap like Bixby).
