Again... in the grand scheme of things from a business standpoint the wants and whims of most here are pretty insignificant. The sooner you understand that the easier itll be to see why they made the change.

Cloning your competitor years after the fact with maybe 1 or 2 minor differences provides no compelling reason for people to switch to your platform. It's the very reason that the Zune brand has failed so miserably. Is it technically better? Yes, but not by enough to compell people to switch. Only thing windows phone has to differentiate it from iPhone is netflix, FM radio, and a massive lack of apps. Not enough to compel people to switch I would think.
