In most cases, you are not the customer of Samsung or HTC. They sell most of their phones to mobile carriers. It's these mobile carriers who are partially responsible for behavior like this, including crapware, and disabling tethering.
When you buy a developer device, or another device directly from the manufacturer, this kind of thing doesn't happen.
