Honestly, if rooting is important to you, you should be buying Nexus devices anyway, right? I realize that there are some consumers that are forced into certain handsets, and those people lose out. But many people buy devices like Galaxy S4s with the expectation to root and fix what they don't like, which is never something Samsung promises. If such consumers vote with their wallets, we'll see more things like the S4 Google Edition, which is what such buyers want in the first place. I don't see much of a problem here (exception of those people who don't have Nexus as an option for whatever reason).
