Correct, they will never stop doing it. But they will eventually start seperating it more, letting the user chose to use the standard home screen and dialer for example. Not sure of the Sense UI but it shouldn't be no problem to make it just another (preinstalled) alternate home screen where the user can chose to switch to the standard home. Also work on the UI side hopefully also means faster portation of those UIs. Not sure why it takes Motorola/HTC/Sony so long to port their versions to the latest Android code, but i guess this can be improved on the Android side of things, too.
