If I were having to pay royalties for every single device that used it, I would be looking for ways to get rid of it, ala apple and now MS
You don't have to pay royalties for having flash on a device.

Members of the Open Screen Project are able to distribute Adobe Flash Player 10.1 with their devices royalty free.

I also have family and friends who are longtime HTC or Samsung fans if they were not of such a good build quality then im certain they would not stick to the brand.
Exactly, one out of Samsung, HTC and Apple has recently released a phone with a fundamentally flawed design.

HTC has excellent build quality. Recent Samsung hardware has as well (although I'd admit that in the past Samsungs haven't been the greatest, these days they're damn solid), the software is where they lack a bit. The original galaxy s was plagued with issues due to the file system they chose for instance, but hardware wise you can't knock it.

Apple? Well, their excuses for their phones failing is "you're using it wrong".

Hilariously if Samsungs "component quality" fails, why is a hell of a lot of the iphone, that apparently has excellent component quality, made by Samsung?
