They aren’t necessarily silly, but these options were definitely quirky, especially LG Wing.

    Man I’m surprised Samsung didn’t dominate this list. My galaxy S4 was filled with so many garbage features that I never used.

    Samsung and their garbageware was like 50% of the reason why I switched to iOS for my main phone.

          Shovelware is what you find on the Nintendo store. Software that comes pre installed on a device is specifically bloatware.

          Shovelware and bloatware really aren’t the same thing though.

          Shovelware is low effort and often times copy pasted software. Bloatware is software a vendor decided you wanted without asking you. It can sometimes have some utility but usually only to some people.

          It also a nice term… but for some reason bloatware term exactly describe the issue behind the problem.
