This happens on unlocked phones too. My Galaxy S21 has apps installed on it whenever I have a different provider (Trafcone, AT&T, etc.). It’s not just when it’s a phone resold from the provider.

Samsung allowing this to happen is bad though

I agree, in fact let’s get rid of all technological advances humans have made in the past few hundreds of thousands of years. Man wasn’t intended to use “tools” like weapons or agriculture or housing or machine manufacturing. Our ORIGINS say we’re monkeys, we shouldn’t be walking on 2 legs or speaking like this! After all, social sedentary culture and technological advancement is COMPLETELY UNNATURAL and NOT AT ALL a core part of an ““intelligent”” species’ evolution! Ooo ooo aaa aaa

I see Wiktionary, I upvote. As a linguistics student I hail Wiktionary as a God, the etymologies and some of the IPA transcriptions have done a lot for me
