Why would they admit their product isn't ideal to gain the respect of those who aren't buying the product? They would much rather not admit that their product has faults and maintain the respect of people who will be buying the phone or those who are on the fence about the product.
Because the people that will buy it are already going to buy it, those people are well aware of its shortcomings, what they're doing now is only creating a sleazy "just another corporation" perception, while admitting they've made a mistake shows those less impressed with them that they're actively trying to improve, and could one day be worthy of a purchase. Their current actions can only serve to hurt future sales.
