What's scary is that people don't go into a store and buy Android. They buy Droid or Evo or Galaxy or HTC One or Razor, etc.. What's to keep Galaxy from staying with Android then? If they lost 10% market for going their own way, but captured the full profit of replacing Google Play entirely with Samsung Apps store, it may still be a good business decision for them.
You can already see this happening a little because Samsung requires using their ad library, their in app purchase library, not mentioning Google Play at all in descriptions or for pro versions, etc. to publish on Samsung Apps. The store isn't as good as Google Play, but it sure is more profitable for Samsung than Google Play.
