There is still a lot of stuff preinstalled which could be considered unwanted by a lot of people (TikTok, Netflix, Spofify, multiple MS apps, Disney+, Facebook, Meta Services, ...)
Pre-installed, yes mine had pre-installed. I don't know anything that doesn't have pre-installed bloatware. What the OP was complaining about was their phone randomly installing unwanted apps after they bought it. Mine has never installed an app without me telling it to. For the bloatware I just disabled it until I'm comfortable using ABD on a new phone.
I have a S21 FE unlocked on AT&T in the USA by the way. #~~___~~
Personally I wouldn't mind a few preinstalled apps, if they can actually be uninstalled, not just disabled which seems to be the case for some.
But the "Meta Services" thing seems shady af, its not showing up in the app drawer because its just a background service most people don't even know it exists. Its also not needed, because all of the Meta apps work just fine without it. So realistically Meta just pays Samsung a lot of money for something that only has the purpose to collect a lot of user data (it can also access more data than regular apps because it's installed as an system app)
