For the exact same reason, I’ve only been using Pixel devices for years now. Before that, Nexus devices.
Every now and then, I get interested in what Samsung has to offer, and their top end devices are without a don’t often among the very best out there.
But it’s shit like pre-installed apps, Samsung’s tooth-and-nail fight against unlocking the bootloader, bloatware that re-enables or installs itself with system updates, and generally Samsung’s attempts to pull users into it’s ecosystem and sell them more Samsung stuff that makes me keep it at arms length.
The reason Samsung does crap like this is because it’s like 20% of the GDP of South Korea, they practically own that country.
If Companies had Egos I don’t know where Samsung would be in the list of biggest but I know it would be high up.
