But in a way I'm glad Google finally decided to recognize its own worth. Less bloat shouldn't mean less value; it should mean the opposite. And the sooner smartphone makers that realize that, the better phones we'll have to choose from.

I dont quite agree on that. All the bloat has the advantage of being bloat that is designed to work together. If it wasn't for differeing software features what else is there to distinguish one phone from the other? When you call it bloat you already show your own preference to less is more. Sure, you could gobble together your own system with exactly and only those features you like, except some of the bloat you cannot get even if you paid for it from elsewhere on a different phone.
Try to answer this then from a busines oriented viewpoint: If it truly was in the best interest of e.g. Samsung to ship their Android devices with only the unmodified vanilla Android without anything extra, then why don't they? They could save a boat load of money on developing all this customer unfriendly bloat by simply not doing it.
