The real issue is that Google/Android are out competing Apple in features, price and 'freedom' - Samsung won't even let me uninstall and get rid of their proprietary crap. So no, there's no freedom in the Samsung world, unless you root the device.

yes there is. You can install any application without approval from Samsung or Google. That is a freedom in the Samsung world that you don't need to root your device for.
