It hasn't really run off iTunes for 3-4 years now. I can't remember the last time I had to launch it. Besides, whilst iTunes isn't great, if most crapware was even as good as iTunes then there wouldn't be much of a problem.

I agree. IMHO iTune is definitely a poor excuse for something that would be better run with tabs in a browser but I'm more concerned with things like the Apple Watch application or The Weather Channel that I can't remove from my iPhone.

The non-removable Apple apps on iOS that exist only to up-sell other Apple "value add" services like Newsstand, Apple Watch, iBooks, Game Centre even iCloud to lesser extent are far more annoying to me.

You can probably disable them from the child lock section, which just outright hides the app.
