I can move bloatware icons off the main screen on android. That's different from uninstalling them.

Your assertion was that Apple disallowed carriers from loading up phones with bloatware. So what? So did other phones. That there exist phones with bloatware does not imply that all non-apple phones are festooned with bloatware and all Apple phones are free of bloatware except safari.

But if your assertion is to be interpreted as anything else it's a distinction without a difference.
