Matters to who? Why?

I don't give much of a crap if my vendor makes a profit, I care about user experience and app support. A big market share certainly impacts the latter.

Samsung do make profit on their smartphones, by the way, not sure what makes you think otherwise.

( Edit -- 1Q 2016 they reported a profit of around 3.3 billion dollars on their mobile operations, source - http://www.cnbc.com/2016/04/28/samsung-has-got-its-mojo-back... )
