  *Every* manufacturer fills their devices with "crap", not just
Samsung.
 
  Only for Google phones, 'we' do not call it "crap", but "vanilla",
"standard", "stock", etc..

Because Android on Pixel devices *is* as Google developed it and not
modified by Samsung or any other manufacturer. Of course Google installs
their own apps on it. But most of these apps can be removed or at least
disabled.

The point is, that any feature provided by Android itself is not modifed
as it is usually the case on devices by Samsung, Motorla, Xiaomi etc. -
because those manufacturers want to provide a "unique" user experience
by adding their own UI and their own *system* modifications to Android.

  Now do the same exercise for Windows and Chrome!

What execercise? There is no Windows 10 or 11 which is modified by the
manufacturer in the same way as Android on Smartphones. You only get a
bunch of apps pre-installed in Windows - but things like Windows
Explorer, Windows settings etc. will always look the same, the no matter
what device you purchase with Windows. Also with Windows comes Edge as
default browser, which is not the case for Android devices where you
either get Chrome or Samsung Internet or Xiaomi Browser or whatever the
manufacturer decided to provide.
