I liked old Samsung phones, e.g., phones with bada OS.

Their entire value proposition (as marketed by themselves) is as an alternative to Apple.
For some people that is enough.

#6I personally don't like how it's possible to store data on my device without me being able to access the data. Also most of the time these keys are used for DRM. So... good IMO.

It gives me the impression that, even though I paid good money on it, Samsung doesn't see me as owner and will leech as much private data off me as they possibly can.

Was in their ecosystem for about four years before going to Google Pixels - I find your experience to be very true. It was truly night and day.

Which isn't any better IMO. Most recent Pixels have been a buggy mess from launch. Google doesn't see to give a damn about the quality of their devices which is especially bad considering they come at flagship prices.
On the other side, my mom's cheap Samsung A52 has been great so far.

Exactly my first thoughts. Key is derived from "user-controlled data". That makes sense, it's my phone, isn't it? Why would the phone need to encrypt data in a way that the user can't access it.
