This isn't from Samsung. They don't install this junk. It's from the phone carrier (ie: AT&T or Verizon). Quit spreading FUD.

These particular apps may be provider added, but Samsung has a hardcore reputation for bloatware on their Android devices. I can't think of another manufacturer that includes more junk ware than Samsung.
