Certainly it is an annoyance and many of the big manufacturers/ phone carriers have been doing this for ages.

Be adventurous, get a customised firmware.

I realized I didn't state my issue with this. I agree Google has the right to push their products. My issue is that:
1. They fill up the device storage preventing you from using that space.
2. You can't uninstall them. You are forced to accept apps on your device that just take up space and you never use.

Google built Android so that it could push it's products. Requiring their apps to be installed doesn't surprise me at all.
