The only real bloat I know are vendor specific programs that come for free with certain hardware. I don't know who writes such shit sotware. From the HP Windows driver suite (not the driver itself but all those useless programs which come along with it; funny enough hplip is the best thing on linux), horrible tools which come with motherboards ("omg make the ui look like it is a spaceship cockpit"), shitty tools from laptop manufacturers for wlan, bluetooth and so on. who the heck writes these!? Commercial programs are mostly not bloated and don't scatter around the whole system.
