To be fair, apples done those things and we said the same thing about those moves. And now look at em.
Except Samsung has competition. Apple has blind loyalty.
I need to replace my Samsung phone soon and I'm looking at Motorola. An Apple user just says I need to replace my phone soon. Then they get to spend an arm and a leg to do it.
Maybe for some people. There is however a strong momentum to just keep using what you are used to, and Apple has done a great job in that regard. Stuff just works and it keeps working mostly the same and even switching to a new device is almost effortless. Plus their design guidelines for apps is providing a pretty consistent user experience, zero tinkering required. Which is what a lot of people like.
