I mean, the way iOS comes with iMessage, Mail, Siri, Safari, Photos, the iTunes Store, iCloud, and a suite of apps including Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie and GarageBand?*

Yet that isn't commonly called "bloatware"... because, of course, it isn't.

Bloatware is commonly understood to be third-party software, often of questionable utility and quality. Not first-party.

(*The suite is only preinstalled on 32GB+ devices.)
