Samsung and Xiaomi and whatever else that invents their own UI bullshit really really like to NIH syndrome the crap out of everything, and half of it is just AOSP with ads and telemetry added to it. There are official stock apps, like Google Calculator, Gboard, Tasks, Gallery, Photos, if you actually want them. There are also the AOSP versions. They frequently come on phones that aren't as full of bloatware.
