Personally, i think marketing and brand recognition plays a much bigger role in LG's woes than the features and specs of their phones.
I agree it comes down to this. Back in 2013 when I got my first smartphone, Samsung was already doing their heavy marketing. I got an LG Optimus G because it was the best fit for me at the time, but I had never seen any ads for any smartphone brand besides Motorola, Apple, and Samsung. I had to do a lot of research to find it. The G6 is more promoted but not well marketed.
So you might be on to something, that copying the curved screen idea will get them more, less-informed customers than the more-informed ones they lose that don't like it. Later, once Apple has "invented" the curved screen, then you won't be able to sell a phone without one.
