I'm at a point in life I get a phone, set it up and live my life.

Everytime I get updates for my Samsung phone my menu is wack and I gotta click through thousand new commands and options that I will never use in my life.

Please just give me updates for my security and no more features.

Have you looked into custom ROMs? I feel like that's usually how they function.

Or even just something closer to AOSP. I've been happy with Pixels for a while. No weird vendor shit.

Especially with a Samsung phone. I feel like I recall seeing jokes several years ago about how much bloatware they have.

I imagine it's gotten better but I wonder by how much

Check out GrapheneOS! It's built from AOSP with some privacy and security improvements, no change in user experience though. It also removes all the bloated Google crap, as well as the spyware. It's the only mobile OS I would use nowadays.
