i dont even touch the galaxy store unless i absolutely have to, something about it just feels so... off?

It has that spammy feeling to it. That's what's off about it. I have never downloaded a single thing from it

There are a handful of customisation apps that are only available through the Galaxy store. The ones I use are all Samsung official apps, but the poorly written descriptions on the install pages definitely make me uncomfortable.

It's like they only intended the apps for their Korean users, and ran the text through Google translate for the English versions.
