I swipe right (or left) and the only thing that happens on my Android 13
Galaxy A32-5G is I swipe to another homescreen page (if it exists).
The action may be a function of the launcher (mine is the last known good
version of the Nova free launcher) or of existing Samsung packages.
I thank Frank for bringing it to the fore as I had never heard of Samsung
Free but apparently it's a content aggregator service since Android 11
formerly known as Samsung Daily, which itself had replaced Bixby Home.  <https://www.howtogeek.com/737979/what-is-samsung-free-and-how-do-i-turn-it-off/>

  As we say in our country, you get bitten, either by the dog or the
cat.

I've long ago removed every vestige of Samsung dogs & cats though.
 C:\> adb shell pm list packages --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
But, it can be shot just like that biting dog or scratching cat can be.
 C:\> adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
As we say in our country, when there's a will, there's a way. :)
