It is only bloat because YOU think so. It has happened more than once that a once "bloat only feature" made it eventually into a future version of Android. "Usually goes unused" means it is not for you. That it doesn't go altogether unused means someone finds it useful. Having choice is good - including the option to have more features preinstalled than you will use. Nobody ever complained about Photoshop having too many features. Photoshop has too many features for a single person to take advantage of all of them.
I happen to like Touchwiz, even though I don't like the app launcher that Touchwiz has. Touchwiz is more than just the app launcher. Guess what? The same app launcher (mine happens to be Nova) runs on all my Android devices - Samsung phones and Nexus tablets.
