The way I see it is like this. Apple advertise left and right coz they are sure that the when casual people buy it, They will keep it. They are sure that people that will switch to ATT will not regret it. They are sure that the iPhone will work properly out of the box as advertised.
Now, Sprint's Diamond for example. I gave 1 to my GF. OMG, Sprints stock ROM is terrible. It is close to unusable. But there's no problem with us bcoz I flashed it with Mighty's ROM and that damn thing worked like it should. So imagine the casual users having the Diamond. Majority of them prolly dont even know anything about the existence flashing. So what would they do? They will return it. That's not even the worst part. The worst part is that that 1 person will tell 10 people. Then those 10 people will each tell another 10 and so on. Ahhhh bad for the business. So prolly, WM phone is not advertised as much since most of WM phones sales relies on powerusers like us.
