Samsung's statement is they dont plan to add locked boot loaders unless Google requires them..If Google requires them even HTC commitment or not will be forced to add locked boot loaders..
Samsung has 0 reason to add locked bootloaders..and let me explain why...Samsung Electronics is a component manufacturer..thats their prime business(and part of Samsung Group that does a million other things)...They enter the consumer space to compliment their hardware business..their locked platform bet is Bada..thats where they try to make a locked down OS like the iphone...as far as Android is concerned..they don't care about locking it...unlike HTC they make most of their profits just by putting in their own components into products..hence why Samsung always beats the competition in hardware specs..its cheaper for them to build compared to others...and even at cheaper their profit margins are higher...not to mention Samsung can accomplish anything with their huge size.
HTC does not have that hence their strategy is things like sense and investing in content like onlive..as I said earlier..they went as far as delaying a honeycomb tablet simply because Sense was not ready and didnt want to go in ASOP..what HTC does with sense is needed for them to survive in the market.
Either way this isn't an HTC vs Samsung or etc..back in the day HTC was our only gateway..but now many players are entering into this space who are just as good and I hope some of the international oems enter the US market place as well..
Times change get with it...I am not telling you to dump HTC..I am telling you that we now have CHOICE and competitive choice...it has a long way to go but its there...

Your little rah rah go Samsung cheerleading aside, Samsung does not always beat HTC in specs. The Evo 3D has better specs than any Samsung phone announced up to this point.
I love how you said HTC was merely catching up at best to what every other manufacturer did several years ago. And when called on the BS claim, all you do is make a bunch of excuses why Samsung is not even there yet, and mix in a bunch of blatant false claims to balance it out.
