Definitely, it's more that is worth trying for people who have a phone already. E.g. on Samsung, you can remove most of the bloatware.

A chinese one? My xiaomi required debloating, which left me without the "apps" menu in settings. I am not happy about having to do that. Side note: I have to use either intents or adb to administrate the apps.

All the "best phones" for most of us are bloated tracking devices.
