I really have had worse Android based devices with countless apps compared to the TUC.
They have a ton of unnecessary apps (at least to me), but it's probably not the visible ones (calendar, calculator, music player, gallery, etc) that are the problem. I think it might be that their OS, notes app and reader app are not well optimized and take up a lot of size.

I might be wrong about that, but Onyx doesn't present those facts, so there's not way to be certain. NeoReader (the default reading app) and Notes are both unavailable as standalone apps - they have to be accessed through the system UI or widgets. There's no way to ascertain how much space they take.

Their system takes up a lot of space, but that might just be modern Android.

You are definitely right about bloatware on normal phones/tablets.
