Samsung phones are bloated as hell, but sometimes the bloat is useful. One thing I like about them is that you can plug just about any Samsung phone into a monitor and it will just work without a fuss. I keep an HDMI to USB-C cable plugged into the back of my TV because I can just plug my phone right into it to show something really quick. It's so much faster and more convenient than fiddling with casting and its various issues.
I think most flagship phones do that now. Myotorola edge has Desktop and Streaming modes. But back in the late 2000's this stuff was amazing.
You'd be surprised. My last phone (OnePlus 6T) had USB-C but was a 2.0 port in disguise with no extra capabilities beyond what USB 2.0 could already do.
But for what it's worth, I buy new phones every 5-6 years and always buy them used + a couple of generations behind, so what's new to me might have been around for awhile. I simply remember being able to connect a Samsung phone to a TV long before I could do that with any other phone brand.
