Why does your phone need a proprietary system with custom apps? Not really sure what you're trying to get at though.

Well, good point. That’s why most manufacturers go with Android instead of making their own.

I think most go with Android so they don't have to think about it and can roll out quickly. I'd be willing to guess that everyone wishes they could do what Apple did, but instead just roll out crap hardware with crap software ontop of the OS they didn't make.
