I'm not missing any point: An ancestor post made the very correct statement that Android's "fragmentation" is also its strength. You went off about how it doesn't benefit consumers.
That is simply wrong.
Sidenote: The phone companies don't customize the handsets at all. The manufacturers do it for them. If the Verizon Samsung comes with a particular app or has a feature removed, it's because Samsung -- an Android partner -- did that for them. It's a small nuance, but it's an important one.
