I had a Sony GPS unit in a truck. I bought it on a closeout when they were leaving the US market. It was (I guess still is) a wonderful little machine. It had a really nice lane display, and was every bit software wise as good as the more expensive Garmin I now have. I got a new Garmin with a larger screen and more "other" bells and updated maps because to update the maps on the Sony was going to cost over $100 and I had only paid about $70 for the machine. I now use a "lifetime maps" machine.
I looked and Sony still made GPS units, and they looked really great, but they were for the Asian markets. It is strange, their software on that GPS unit compared very well to the best Garmin and TomTom had.
As for as bloatware on the MS type computers, I just remove that without problems, and will always buy the better machine even with bloatware. The problem is with Sony that even with bloatware, their computers cost too much for this old country boy.
