I'm going to guess when OEMs ship Linux (Dell, Lenovo, System76, etc...) there's no bloatware. No bloatware on Apple except their OS ;-). But yeah, it's shocking. When I bought my laptop (an Acer Swift 3) it was borderline unusable with Windows and the standard install (wasn't even using native resolution, like WTF!?). Thankfully runs perfectly and looks great with Linux (even suspend, fingerprint reader, bluetooth, etc...).
