The South Korean government was not too happy with the state of bloatware coming pre-installed on most Android devices. As a measure to curb the same, the government has passed a law that every device should be configured such that consumers can delete each and every app considered by them as bloatware.
Pre-installed apps are often just sitting idle, eating precious memory or RAM, or just annoying the user with pesky notifications. Also, it leads to unfair competition, all of which the South Korean government hopes to do away with.
In case you were wondering, carriers have until April to abide by the new law.
