Oh go on then. Who is pushing malware onto OPs phone and how? Please be specific.
Not OP, but you tend to see these kinds of shenanigans from phones that are locked to carriers, the carriers are the ones who end up pushing the apps onto the phone during an update.
Sprint was pretty bad with their bloat ware back in the day, when I made the switch from my Sprint-locked S6 to my unlocked Pixel 1, I never had that problem again.
My mom and dad have unlocked S22's and they don't have these issues as far as I'm aware. I know if my dad did he would have complained about it.

Yes, that does ALSO happen. But carriers are not responsible for updates. Updates are pushed by the OEM...
