Why do I have 250 apps

You should be able to see all of the apps via Settings > Apps, show all, and tell it to show system apps.

That will show you everything. I suspect that a lot of your 250 are system apps, including services which don't show in the app drawer. My Pixel 2 is much lighter on pre-installed apps that most phones, and even so I'm pretty sure that it came with rather more than 50 when all of the system apps were included. LG are not noted for being parsimonious with pre-installed apps (though not as extreme as Samsung), so I expect you have more.
