I just wanted to share that you can disable google play store on stock Roms and not lose that much functionality, if for any reason you use an app that require Google play store or you want to make a play store purchase, you can enable it again.
I personally disabled it and I get my apps from Aurora Store, ApkPure and Droidify.
It decreased my phone battery usage by a lot and I am less dependent on google overall.
Not 100% sure on Samsung specific apps but, UAD makes life easier when trying to debloat Android phones.
I’m not directly affiliated with the development, I just thinks a cool tool. The more people using / contributing the better it will get.

Yeah UAD works great! 👍
