HTC puts a dual camera system in their phone and nobody uses it because it's a tiny subset of all Android phones. That's a lot of engineering effort for a consumer base that is largely oblivious to that feature. Apple puts a dual camera system in their phone and everyone uses it because they know it'll be a popular product. People who appreciate photography will buy that phone specifically for the dual camera system. It's a positive reinforcement loop here. If HTC had their own software ecosystem and they managed it as well as Apple does then you'd see the same thing, but that's not the case. They're just another Android phone in a market crowded with phones of all sorts. Their dual camera feature looks like a gimmick and for the most part is.
