As you said Samsung is terrible at DevRel, but Tizen OS itself is now pretty good. Tizen's survival in medium term is assured since it ships in Samsung TVs.
On the other hand, I am not sure even stellar DevRel would have saved Tizen. Yes, Sun was terrible with OpenSolaris, but wasn't Joyent stellar with SmartOS (which is the same codebase)? That didn't make SmartOS very successful.

They haven't learned the OS/2 lesson, making SmartOS great to run Linux based software doesn't make software shops go crazy to write with Solaris APIs.
