Only way to stop or get rid of system apps is to root.
Well, with that I totally agree. Ideally I would like to be able to uninstall anything I don't want on my phone without having to root and it annoys me when any company tries to control and limit what you can do with your device. It's the reason I dislike Apple so much.

In China though, there are so many more controls that are put into phones that I either buy an overseas phone not connected to any service provider or I have my phone rooted at the time I buy it. Samsung's apps are such a relatively minor annoyance that I don't mind dealing with them, especially since they do bring benefits in a non-Google location.
