That's the point I made in the comment. Having no apps will shoot even good OSes in the foot. This being said all Samsung needs is for an antitrust investigation to break the exclusivity clause. Samsung doesn't need to drop Android, they need to be able to sell phones with other OSes. Tizen probably fits the bill for low-end, cheap phones. With the exclusivity clause in place Samsung would have to bridge the canyon between the current Tizen ecosystem and where Samsung would want it in one step. Removing the limitation just gives them the chance to take it one step at a time with building their ecosystem (not a pleasant thought looking at the state of their software but hey...).
