What you described brings back distant memories of Windows. Since switching to macOS few years ago none of that behavior is a thing any more. Apps 'just work' and do so in a predictable way. There is no (noticeable) attempt from app makers to bundle bloat. This alone makes macOS much more comfortable to work with. And the bonus is there is an actual usable shell.

That's not macOS specific. My phone has HP crapware on it for some reason.

Have you tried installing a gaming mouse driver on MacOS? Same deal.
When I used it, MacOS also had the issue that some software didn't even have uninstallers. So you have to drag the app to the trash bin, then go and manually remove the various system software that it installed. Or run a script off of the internet. Software management on MacOS is no better than Windows in my opinion, and in many cases much worse.
