That's why I quit Samsung, too much bloat.

I love my Pixels. Just solid, clean Androids.

I think I'm going to switch back. The rooting process for Samsung phones seems super annoying.

First you have to unlock the bootllader. For US (Canada too maybe?) models its straight up impossible. And for models which can be unlocked, Knox gets tripped which leads to a whole host of other problems. Even then, you still don't have custom ROMs to flash. This makes Samsung phones straight up unviable for me. Kind of sad to see when I had a really nice custom ROM experience with my first Samsung in 2014.

Same. Granted, that was years ago. But it was pretty bad.
