Bloatware and Preinstalled apps things updating on its own

I am so pissed off at the pre-installed apps on my phone and that i have no control over what apps i have on my phone or updates because shit updates on my phone no matter what I do. I am very angry that that I cannot uninstall preinstalled apps on my phone and that I have no control over their permissions because when i try to change the permission on theses apps, it shows that I cannot. I am pissed that I cannot take google assistant off my phone, that apps have permissions to change system apps. I am pissed that I have no choice over what information is shared or what you can do with it. I am pissed that when I tried to download my pics from goggle drive, I could only download 500 of my own photos, for some reason I dont even have the rights to my own photos. I will never buy another android device that uses google ever again. I am so angry that I have no choice but to accept these conditions to use my ### phone I spent 2 years paying off. I want control over my device and over everything on my phone which is something everyone should have. This is the biggest breach of privacy and power I have ever encountered. Why do you think it is okay to download apps on my phone i do not want, make updates that I dont want, and on top of that have apps where i cannot change the permissions that have permissions for everything. Then on top of it store and use my data and information which i have no ### choice in the matter because in order to use the phone i have to agree to these things and when apps are preinstalled or installed, i cannot change the permissions or get rid of apps, or stop them from updating and every time my phone is updated more shit is on my phone i do not want, that makes me feel unsafe, and that I cannot change. My whole life was on my phone, but not anymore. Now I cannot use my phone for anything because in order for me to stop all this shit from happening, i am not using my phone at its full capacity. I Until this is fixed I will never be able to use my phone nor will i ever buy another phone like this. The apps that are installed make sure i have less security.
