With the exception of Safari, you can uninstall every application using the standard process.

Can you do that for Android carrier crapware that’s preinstalled? Just tap on it and choose uninstall?

I never buy phones from carriers, always directly from manufacturers, so no idea. Manufacturer bloat can be deleted pretty straightforward.

You do understand that you’re not in the majority?

The root problem is that Android lets carriers “enhance” their devices with crapware and also make it hard or impossible to install without technical know-how

While also, making device cheaper, if I can get the same device with the same specs with a diffrence of 100usd with extra bloatware(plus bootloader unlocking capabilities), you know what I'm buying
