QUESTION, Why does samsung need play store while they have galaxy store/apps, i just don't get it samsung store is the app store literally for samsung and google play store is a death trap for people because anyone can make a scamming app smartphone apps and they have you so i don't really know about galaxy apps because in the begining of the video she was all like "the app is only for android users" so i really think samsung should take down GOOGLE PLAY STORE. Just watch the video for more info.
You can disable the play store if you dont like it. The galaxy store doesn't have alot of the apps google play offers.
I regularly check app permissions to check what apps have access to, even if an app is installed on your phone it requires these permissions to access this data and you can manually turn them off
Settings>apps>(3 dots) app premissions
On newer devices we also have premission usage monitor. This gives a notification if any app you have selected is accessing a premission in the background.
Settings> biometrics and security>premission usage monitor.
So if you regularly check your device for premissions and use the monitor then this kind of app shouldn't be able to access your data. And if it does you should get a notification and i would definitely delete it. The lady in the video even said you accepted/gave us permissions.

Device admin apps, change system settings, notification access, install unknown apps, and usage data access are premissions you don't want to grant an app you have downloaded yourself, if the app was preloaded on your device then they should be okay. you normally would need to approve these permissions individually in settings but still a good idea to check.
