        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.

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

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