Well, I own a few Samsung devices. There is no Samsung experience. I don't bother signing in into a Samsung account or using their store. What for? I already have to be signed in into Google's store to get updates for the apps I must use. Samsung's one is useless and it's not the reason I bought from them. I bought an A40 because it was the smallest Android phone on the market (and yet almost one inch too tall) and a tablet (S5e?) because it had Linux in DeX.
By the way, I keep Google usage minimal. I don't need most of their services. Even YouTube works without an account and I'm using NewPipe most of the time. What I really need is Play, only to update maps, Maps mostly because of satellite images (I use OSMAnd) and Translate as a dictionary. Syncthing and KDE connect deal with backup and file transfer.
Until recent Samsung smart devices, you HAD to use their store and the experience was horrendous. Full of nonworking paid apps, no working review system that I could see, it was an absolute nightmare to use. It's actually quite sad cause the hardware itself wasn't bad and the battery life of Tizen was fantastic.
They dropped support. The update to Android 10 removes it. Probably because 16.04 is EOL and they should have paid Canonical again to make X11 and possibly other systems work on Android. The number of users of that feature was probably low.
