First of all in the past when you unlock the phone the splash screen of the original carrier would stay there. 
So I unlocked a AT&T galaxy S9 then put a Verizon Sim card in. It now has the Verizon splash screen and preloaded apps, like it was a Verizon phone all along. Never seen this before and I switch a lot granted not many Samsung’s.

Maybe the Verizon SIM wrote over the original carrier's info and loaded it's software onto it? I know my T-Mobile one did that when I switched to them from someone else.
