I can only speak for myself why I debloat my phone / pc / tv /anything with an OS, there are multiple factors:
- There are no custom roms available, the phone is bloated now
- It’s fun
- You get to know the inner workings of your device, what makes it tick
- Removing software that annoys me gives me a sense of true ownership over my device
- I get to purge all those trackers and privacy unfriendly stuff …
- … and replace them with shiny Open Source Software a beautiful community built for me
- Every failure teaches you how to fix stuff, empowering you to help others in the future
- Have I mentioned it’s fun
