TLDR - The cost of competing against Amazon is a magnitude higher than competing against Apple (see Android).

Android only competes in a supercilious way. Android powered phones compete with the iPhone and Android OS does not compete with iOS. You cannot install Android on an iPhone and Apple does not offer iOS without an iTrinket. Samsung is a competitor of Apple not Android.
