This is probably going to make their phones more expensive and less reliable, at least for a couple of generations. This also means that eventually having a Samsung account is going to be mandatory. On the plus side their phones are (hopefully) going to have only half the bloat-ware.
It must have taken a lot of faith in their customers' loyalty to essentially say "it's Google, or us"

Why is Samsung wasting time and resources on developing another platform while Android is free and open source to anyone? Is Samsung no longer trust Google on Android platform? Or is it a sign that Google is going to be more restrictive on Android in near future so they are preparing for decreasing current dependency on Android?

If Samsung manages to make Tizen popular, they will make money with app shop, like Apple is doing! So they are willing to make a closed environment where they make all the rules, like MS shop, and Apple shop are today. It is business decision.

Every large Tech company wants to emulate Apple's AppStore/iTunes. Tizen is Samsung's way of accomplishing their version of the AppStore. Also everyone forgets Android is NOT free. M$ and TI get royalties for every Android OS sold and perhaps Samsung is trying to avoid that cost as well. Either way Samsung has a big hill to climb and will mainly affect Android market share.
