The only way to get the 4K 17" Razer is to configure it with a GTX 2080 Max-Q at which point the machine costs a whopping £3599 (4568USD). 

At least Apple lets you have the best screen even in the most basic specification!

It's a 120 Hz 4K IPS display, so they want to pair it with a more powerful GPU.

If you need a quality display, the 15" model with a 100% DCI-P3 4K OLED display will start at  £2399 with an RTX 2070 Max Q.

Of course, if you want a 17" laptop with one of the best displays available, the MSI Creator 17 is the only laptop with a Mini LED display.

... this doesn't directly benefit Apple anymore than other vendors since their newly learnt behaviour is to *avoid* Samsung, not to specifically embrace another brand.

You're neglecting current iPhone 6 and below users who are due for an upgrade but are bored with the iPhone or disenchanted with how lackluster the iPhone 7 appears. Samsung is easily the "gateway" Android phone for an iPhone user. There *are* people who are on the fence/disaffected who might have switched over, but now will likely just stick with Apple rather than deal with the hassle and (fair or not) stigma associated with the Note specifically and Samsung in general.
