Seems your carrier might be pushing those on your device

Bless you x9000. Last 3 updates kept pushing that garbage.
If you're with T-Mobile; another major pain in the ass is known as
AppSelector
. Check inSettings > Apps
for this pest andDisable
it!!~I'm on TMo and don't have that - but I also brought my own device. Would it be hiding under another name or am i good?
It shouldn't be to my knowledge. What model is your device?
pixel 7
Pixels do not have these problems; as they're 100% pure, unmitigated GOOGLE Android.
You won't have this problem with Pixels; Google explicitly forbids it.
What device are you using?

Then that's not on Google, that's on Samsung. Wouldn't be the first time they pull crap like this

I recommend buying a Motorola (Edge) phone, they don't have any crap on their phones and I they have great battery time.

Or get a Pixel and install GrapheneOS on it! It's nice to feel in control of my phone. Almost every app on my device is open source (with the exception of Instagram and FB Messenger, sadly my social circles use these exclusively to communicate) and for those closed-sourced, sketchy apps, I can set which permissions they have super easily.
Yeah, that would be nice!
