I think app's got this one right, along with Glyn Moody (no link, sorry):
The money the manufacturers gain from this kind of stuff is paid for by the negative value users perceive. I'd be willing to bet that a manufacturer that provides useful software instead may lose out in terms of kickbacks from the software houses but will ultimately gain in through sales to satisfied customers.
