Astute observations there.
One thing I would add is that Samsung is not a particularly creative company, so it would be difficult for them to create a product that is superior to Facebook.
Samsung's corporate culture is very much execution-orientated; speed and discipline is valued over creativity. This suits its manufacturing roots. Samsung has been most successful in industries where they have been able to borrow technologies from elsewhere, then apply their core competences of fast execution and production efficiency to out-muscle the competition. We are currently seeing this with smartphones, but Samsung have applied this strategy in all its major successes, from DRAM to flat panel displays.
Of course this isn't to say that Samsung make bad products -- I have a Samsung phone, laptop and TV, and I'm happy to vouch for all of them -- but like many successful companies, they play to their strengths. And as long as they continue to make good products, why should it matter?
