I think that crap is only included if you install "Geforce Experience". Nvidia parted off their garbage into an optional component, while AMD forces you to install it.
For anyone using Nvidia on Windows, here's a useful tool to carve out most of the trash from the driver prior to installing.
Still nothing compared to typical RGB control software, that on Windows only runs while actively logged in (stops when locking the screen/desktop) instead of a tight/light service that uses the "last known" config that updates from the desktop/gui. Let alone painfully missing tecnical docs or support for Linux.
