Your analogy is a bit off. What OS a phone is running is more important than the specific model of the phone. This will drive app development which, in turn, feeds back into an OS's market share. That's how it turned out with PC OSs.
As much as I love Android, I don't want an ecosystem completely dominated by one OS, but that's the way things are trending. It can lead to stagnation. Going back to my PC example, if MS didn't help prop up Apple back in the day, we probably wouldn't have the choices we have today.
