Or perhaps they are happy making the best products they can and are proud of and they let the marketshare fall where it may.

So...putting words in someone else's mouth is being "open minded"?

I never said that iPhone buyers wouldn't consider the Fire Phone due to it "not being Apple". I said that iPhone buyers are not the ones buying on price and thus are less likely to be swayed by the dumping of the unsold Firephone stock. The same would be true of Mercedez buyers unlikely to be swayed if the Ford Festiva gets marked down half price.

Is it such a stretch to imagine that those who will take Amazon up on the Fire Phone, now that it's cheap, are those that were in the market for a cheap phone in the first place?
