Honestly, I wouldn't even consider those bloat. Especially the back-up assistant...

These aren't bad. Compared to some of the stuff they usually put on there phones, this is minimal.

You're right; they're not that bad. They're just potentially the reason were not getting a Nexus any time soon.

These apps are not bad, but it's the principle of the matter. A Nexus is supposed to be a pure Google experience phone. I'm more concerned with what this means for updates. With the rumors of VZW Backup Assist not playing nice, does this mean that Verizon is going to have to test every update Google puts out to make sure it works? I have a bad feeling that VZW will find a way to have control over this phone and it become just another phone.

I guess they can be removed with a root...

The big question is are they just installed (not an issue for me) or baked into the os? If they are baked in then that is not cool and I can see that screwing future updates up!
