The phone manufacturer has to slim the OS down first… Android needs 2GB just to run, but I often see 3-3.5 GB used by the system with nothing else installed. By contrast, you can get down to 1-1.5 GB with LineageOS and Gapps installed, so it is possible to streamline, but it means a lot of functionality is stripped out.
Not a lot of functionality but a lot of bloat
