You are probably thinking of bloatware that are bundled by the OEM themselves, such as those by Sony, Samsung, Huawei, HTC, etc. Android itself is pretty lean.
But that’s besides the point. One of the issues why Google is being slapped with viloating antitrust laws is in the way they bundle their search engine. Their terms and conditions stipulates that for OEMs to be able to legally include the Google PlayStore app (the importance of which cannot be overstated enough) with their phones/tablets, they must agree to also include ONLY Google Search and block other search engines.
