I was in the same boat. If on android you can install a third party launcher. It gets rid of everything you are talking about.

this appear to however only be a frontend ui and doesn't change anything on the data collection / OS right? still - looks very cool, will definitely check it out.
I installed projectivy on my android tv and it's great. Just a simple dashboard that only shows the things I put there.
