      Shovelware is what you find on the Nintendo store. Software that comes pre installed on a device is specifically bloatware.

      Shovelware and bloatware really aren’t the same thing though.

      Shovelware is low effort and often times copy pasted software. Bloatware is software a vendor decided you wanted without asking you. It can sometimes have some utility but usually only to some people.

      It also a nice term… but for some reason bloatware term exactly describe the issue behind the problem.
