I unlocked my phone here recently so there should be no network limitations but I was curious what would it take to make my s23 into basically like an unlocked device straight from samsung with no bloatware. do i have to factory reset? anything i can do? verizon sucks.

You would have to have the phone reflashed with factory firmware. A factory reset won't do it because Verizon turns too many controls off. However, that being said, once unlocked you should be able to uninstall any unwanted Verizon apps. A factory reset will do that, but the Verizon startup logo will remain, and stunted controls may remain.  You'd also have to set up your phone completely from scratch.
