I've never experienced this recommended app installation that you're talking about.

Otherwise, I completely agree. Samsung should just use Google Play or the System update process to manage system app updates, etc.

I can see their concern with relying completely on gPlay, as there may be instances where the permissions needed for a system app go beyond the allowances of gPlay, but there are other ways to avoid those issues, and the Galaxy Store is trash.

Maybe you have an expensive Samsung phone. On the cheaper ones they’re trash
