LG G6 system resever size?

[AC Question]

Ok so I recently got my LG G6 from verizon and I was looking at my storage and noticed the OS is taking up a astounding 11gb off the bat. This is up there with a barebones install of Windows. Is there something im missing? Does the OS really take 1/3 of the devices storage without updates patches ECT? Also I recently encountered the bug where android becomes untrusted i did the commands to get into the recovery menu and did a,factory reset not sure if this is relevant.

Thanks,

Dylan

"LG Bloatware" this is why it takes all this space.

The system partition is set aside so there's never a storage issue for updates. The last thing manufacturers would want is to push a security update but the user has to uninstall apps or delete pictures because the drive is full. The system partition is set a certain size and the user can't write to that partition.
