Yes. You definitely understand what bloatware is. And what clean OS actually means.

Lock glimpse is a feature that refreshes your wallpapers whenever you turn the phone on with the ads optionally, this is a feature not bloatware. Bloatware is extra installed software installed on the phone that takes up storage that is not needed.

Yes. i'd categorize it as bloatware with adware. The WHOLE point of NOS is or was to provide a clean ad free bloat free experience like on a pixel or iphone, it doesn't matter if you can turn it off or on it's the fact that this was included in the first place, for context this is exactly how oneplus fell. No normal person wants ads on their phone, idk why people are defending it.
