Samsung can cut ties with Google if they want to, they have market share to go on their own.

I'm sure they would love to. They've been trying to make their own app store (Galaxy Store) a thing for over a decade. But cutting ties with Google would mean no Google Apps and no Google Play Store, and that would probably be catastrophic for them.

Some would argue it would be more catastrophic for Google. Most people equate Samsung to Android.
