Besides android vendors aren't really profitable by big margins. Motorola in fact has continued losing money for past few years even after introducing android.
Do you get your news from Apple centered sites and blogs and the comments there? There seems to be an element of cognitive dissonance(or perhaps PR rhetoric?). If this was MS, there would be shouts of paid shills, but I am not going there.
Edit: Samsung made a profit of 1.5 billion dollars off their phones just last quarter.
While HTC's profits are unquestionably growing, their profit share actually declined a bit; remember it's a very rapidly expanding industry. Motorola Mobility, SE and LG are loss-making or close to it. Only Samsung is in a really strong position.

and note: opinions that to not match yours can be independent. They don't have to be disillusioned or paid. Learn to respect them.
You mean like Apple?
