Why, do Americans put up with bloatware on their Androids?

More; I specified Americans, because a majority of users on this site are Americans and while this question may applies to others, I wouldn't know.

So to further explain my question, why is it that Americans will go and buy their phones from a carrier, which will proceed to dump undeletabale apps as ads all other the phone. I live in China, where phones are locked when you buy them in the mainland, and as such I'll buy my phone whenever i go back to my family, and will bring back an unlocked phone, then pop a simcard in it.

Why don't the rest of you do the same?

It's easier to buy the phone from the carrier than to research which phones work with which carrier.

Also, carriers often bundle the phones and service together so it looks like you're getting a discount on the phone. Less upfront costs are significant to the majority of americans who don't have even $1000 saved.
