I don't know about your facts, but

"Is it that hard to just copy the winning formula?"

yes it is, thanks to IP law. And back in the day Steve Jobs already wanted thermonuclear war on Samsung, because he felt their flagship at the time was too close to the IPhone.

To be fair, there was a moment when Samsung was in full copy mode. All the way down to having their own version of the dock connector and a retail box that closely mimicked Apple. In retrospect, a bit embarrassing for a company we know is capable of much more.

The thing is, people do not like to learn a new UI to do the same thing on a different device. But they have to.

Steve Jobs wanted nuclear war with Google (not Samsung) because Eric Schmidt was on Apple’s board of directors while the iPhone was being developed, so Jobs felt Schmidt was basically doing insider trading for google to develop Android.

Ah, I did not remember that one about Eric Schmidt, but I thought there was also something with Samsung.
