Ah, that's where you're wrong: it's not your phone.
One of the reasons that my last Samsung phone was an S5. Can't reload a custom ROM on them anymore to get rid of OEM shit, as far as I know. Motorolas and Pixels are good for that now.
I did with my S10+, so you definitely could more recently.
Having said that I'm finding the crud much reduced on my S23, like they don't try to push bixby down your throat every 10 seconds.
GSI roms are the solution!
I have a Vanilla Lineageos on my A12 and it's great!
But for me, there is just one problem with it, everytime you unlock the phone, touch does not work for 4 or 5 second. :)
