Absolutely audacious to complain about being "forced" to install apps and in the next sentence complain about the Aliexpress app. Nobody forced you to install the aliexpress app. Nobody needs the aliexpress app.
Also people need to hate ads more. A single unwarranted notification will get me to disable all notifications or uninstall your app. If you don't hate ads enough, you'll find yourself being shown ads.
Yet services do whatever they can to convince the user to install their apps.
While I agree that the user shouldn't install unnecessary apps and probably remove most of what's installed, this is playing a rigged game.
On the one side a person who want to do something, on the other end countless very well founded teams trying to exploit our monkey brains.

You don't need the Ali Express app to track your orders, yet the author seems to think so. If you think this is a rigged game then just don't play it.
Use your phone for what you need and let it be the end of it. The author is complaining about things as if someone were putting a gun to their head and forcing them to use the Ali Express to track their orders.
