Some of the examples are so poorly executed (on Samsung's side) that I can't think of any possible explanation for them beyond pure laziness. For example:
1. Landscape mode is only supported in Memo and Calculator when rotating
left, not when rotating right.
6. The buttons are cut off when the keyboard is visible.
11. Pressing NEXT changes the font to lowercase. Huh?
27. Long telephone numbers get cut off (instead of shrinking the font size
to fit).
36. Alarm settings buttons are cut off by the number pad.
None of these examples are particularly difficult to get right, as long as you have someone paying attention to basic UI design. What's amazing to me is that they actually shipped a product with these glaringly obvious deficiencies.

Of course it would have been possible for Samsung to implement those in Android, but I'm just pointing out it would be more work than just changing some values in the app. At the time of the S1 Android just hadn't matured yet.
