It's not forced, it is a part of the product and you are free to not use it or remove it. Where some people might not want certain defaults, most people have no clue how to get access to software and will take whatever is already there. This is part of the reason all Windows devices come preinstalled with 50% windows and 50% OEM bloat; the OEM gets paid and the customer might 'use what is already there' and for the bloatware vendors hopefully purchase a full version or subscription. What you want and what other people want most likely doesn't line up and never will. This is because there is no universal configuration for everyone and because the median is not going to work for anyone at all (i.e. install Garageband but not a browser, or install Numbers but not Pages)
