software you never asked for, can't delete, and will defend to the death.

means preinstalled or feature-creeped software that eats storage and battery while doing nothing you actually want.

from coined in the 1990s as programs ballooned past their usefulness, adding features nobody requested while eating more memory than the tasks warranted; manufacturers later weaponized it, preloading phones and laptops with apps to score deals with partners, not users.
