Samsung also saved them from botching ipad3 launch by being able to provide quality screens on time unlike the other parts manufacturers

The problem here is, that Apple is Samsung´s biggest customer. That means, if Samsung would stop to produce chipsets, displays etc for Apple, they would have some serious financial trouble.
Sad, but true....

Besides that point, I have the same opinion on this situation as you.

It could also mean more focus on their own products. It looks like the Galaxy S line is reaching that point where supply is becoming an issue and this could really boost their production figures

Galaxy Tabs being a good example of those instances where they used Tegra2, Ti OMAP, etc instead of exynos.

Lagtra..!! LOL, made me laugh
Every time NVidia launches a new mobile chip they are actually far behind every other competitor in just a few months
History and present both proves this..!!

Yup

Outdated GPU, single 32bit channel memory controller, builton large die size

It looks like they just like being the first (first dual core - tegra2, first quad core - tegra3)
