Google doesn't like being Samsung's de facto OS: Samsung's dominant market share effectively transformed Android into Samsung's operating system. It was not meant to be this way. When Google embarked on the Android journey it was meant to be all about levelling the market, transforming it into a patchwork of medium sized companies, each dependent on Android making Google the effective ruler of client states. Google does not care much for Samsung's dominance nor does much of the rest of the mobile value chain. No one likes a dominant leader. That's the price to pay for success. But it is when you start your trip back down from the top that you find out who your friends are and you will reap the harvest sown by how you treated others on your way up. The arrogance of a top dog can quickly come back to bite it in the proverbial posterior.
