I think you remember something that is 15 years old. Samsungs are very good now and even though I don’t use the default launcher (OneUI), when I used it it didn’t seem clunky or anything. And yes, they put a lot of junk apps by default, but you can uninstall most of them right off the bat and never care.
I have an account with them for two years. My torrent client is online 100% at home, but I used to browse the site from my job and never got blocked or banned, or even notified that there’s an issue. I suggest you ask in their forums.
