Because it's (relatively) easy to develop a good OS, or one better than Android, but it's going to be very difficult to get the 3rd party apps to support your platform before you have enough users. And you wont get the users without 3rd party app support.
- Grazester 10y agoYou mean like how easy it was for Firefox?
- feelix 10y agoI said "relatively". That is to say: relative to getting 3rd party app support from everybody.
- BoorishBears 10y agoAnd Samsung already gets to modify Android to the point it breaks apps and forces devs to apply Samsung specific fixes. I don't really think there's a length they could go that's too far in modifying the OS past replacing Android as a base. Their market share is so large devs just put up with it.
