That may not be the case... When I was using my original G1, it wasn't the best interaction, and almost turned me off of Android. There were a few features that I really liked (contacts sync being the biggest)... but after a series of poor/middling experiences on tablets and phones... I managed to get a closeout Touchpad and really liked the UI for that...
From there, a friend mentioned that a lot of the UI in the latest devices with the untainted google experience had gone that direction in 4.x, I got a first gen Nexus 7... loved it, from there was going to get a Nexus, but held out for the Nexus 4. The first "smart" phone I actually liked... didn't wish it were a little more responsive, or a little faster.
The down side, even now, technical difficulties persist. For some reason the bluetooth doesn't sync to my car unless I turn it off, then back on... my last phone (ZTE) was worse than the samsung I had before that, or my G1.
Most people wouldn't stick with this kind of experience if there's something perceived to be better available. If the iPhone were available on a carrier other than AT&T early on, I would have switched over from my G1.
Something tells me that poor experiences on cheap Firefox OS devices will only lead to more Android and iOS adoption in those markets.
