How is letting users to disable bloat a bad feature?

For example, can you remove Chess from MacOS? Nope! Why? What I found on Reddit, it seems because it's integral part of MacOS somehow and I am a bad person for even asking, somehow.

"iMessage, Mail, and then iCloud if you want to sync it, and Photos"

Those are not bloat, those are core features of a computer for 99% of users who are not developers.

There already exists a platform which is unusable for normal people and great for developers, it's called Linux.

There already exists a platform which is great for corporate and hell for normal people, it's called Windows.

So why aren't we allowed to keep the only computing platform which is good for normal users?

Chess is 11Mb, you must be desperate for space if you want to remove that.

Bloat adds up.

Each part alone might not be large but together it starts to become an annoyance.

Also bloat is not just about disk space but also cognitive load and clean interface.
