Why is Samsung, HTC and LG making their own Android skin? Why not just release their products with stock Android?

I just don't get it. I mean EVERY tech-journalist loves stock android and everyone hates those custom skins.

Because then there would be little to differentiate the phone from each other, especially to less tech-savvy people who might not care about megapixel this or gigabyte that, but just want something that looks nice.

By putting their own skin on it, they are making it their own product - one which they hope will be better (including to non tech-savvy people) than the competition, rather than the same as the competition.
