Shitty behavior on the part of Moto.
On the other hand, installing GOS gets rid of this issue. I'll likely still buy a Moto if I have the option of installing GOS myself. I wouldn't trust Moto to not add something to a pre-installed GOS.
Motorola primarily makes budget phones, mostly because they're full of malware like this. Same reason some companies will offer phones and TVs completely free.
Unfortunately privacy is expensive. And the GOS phone will be as well.
