Could it have been Samsung's apps? Absolutely. Seems you might have this figured out, and great for you if you do. Just troubleshooting this sort of stuff takes way longer than it should!

Well, one advantage of not choosing flagship phones is they tend to come with much less crap. My 2017 Samsung 'random something' phone has zero, for example: no bixby, no touchwiz, just a folder named Samsung with a few Galaxy apps that don't even run in the background. Needless to say, Android Auto works just fine, not that I would be an avid user.
