Bloatware and unwanted bundled software is difficult to permanently remove

On fresh installs of Windows, macOS, Android, and even Linux (Ubuntu's Snap packages), users are forced to accept pre-installed software they never wanted—adware, manufacturer partnerships, AI assistants, and cloud tools that run in the background consuming resources. Power users and developers setting up new machines must perform 'registry surgery,' run third-party scripts, or use community tools just to reach a clean baseline. The problem compounds over time as OS and browser updates silently re-enable or reinstall previously removed features, making debloating an ongoing chore rather than a one-time fix. Peripheral makers like Logitech worsen the experience by requiring bloated companion apps just to configure hardware. No first-party tooling from Microsoft, Google, or OEMs provides a sanctioned, persistent way to opt out of bundled software.
