Samsung have been cleaning up their act as of late, so I wouldn't worry about Google adopting the same policy.
Their recent successes have really pushed them up in the tech industry and they are actually making smart moves to great-en that success, from their end anyway.
Today I had an e-mail of a sub company of theirs "USYS" about a compatibility issue with one of my best apps and the Samsung Galaxy S4. They are obviously looking to ensure popular apps available to the GS4 work correctly. That's a first for anyone!
