Any OS is going to have something in it, which someone doesn't use, and
which can't be removed. This has nothing to do with Android or Ubuntu.
All operating systems are like this.

If you want to be extra particular about it though, Ubuntu does lend you
the freedom and ability to build your own custom images where you can
limit what is installed on the system, even further, if you really want
to; or even have different things installed by default. Android/iOS
don't really give you that option.
