I'm all for less bloat ware, but come one. The camera app or remote desktop are the least shitty ones. Its borderline to call them even bloatware.

I mean I’ve never used either of those apps and my computer doesn’t even have a camera.

Sounds like textbook bloatware to me… 🤷‍♀️

"if I don't use it, it's useless"

Bloatware doesn’t necessarily mean it’s useless, but if even a reasonable percent of people don’t want or need it or shouldn’t be preinstalled. That’s bloatware.
