I’m a bit biased since I’m an Apple user, but I honestly think that bloatware is worst in this case.
I don’t even bother jailbreaking my iPhone because I think the App Store apps are just fine. Sure there are a few utilites that would be nice to use if it was jailbroken, but it’s more “nice to have” than “need to have” so I prefer to play it by the book. My priorities have kinda shifted from “the tinkering guy” to “i just want it to work”-guy, on that matter.
But I love how iOS and Android are so different in terms of openness and restrictions because that means there’s a device for most people.
