What's so hard about putting the Exynos inside US variants?

They did it before with the Note 5 and S6 edge+. I just feel like software would be a lot better optimized and the Exynos ALWAYS outperforms the Snapdragon.
 
Qualcomm needs Samsung as much as Samsung needs Qualcomm....

In 2015 the snapdragon 810 was a different story because it was such an overheating disaster when compared to the exynos solution.
 
I believe Samsung licenses the patents from Qualcomm. But Samsung is also Qualcomm's biggest customer. What incentive does Qualcomm have to license patents to allow exynos in the U.S. market knowing that they will lose out on supplying their own chips to MILLIONS of phones? That's why.

Not true - I've heard a lot of Exynos users complaining about lag, while the 835 version seems to be generally lag-free. It was the other way round for the S7 Edge
 
They exynos 8895 outperforms the snapdragon 835 in graphics by a good margin now.
The cpu in the exynos is clocked lower also and has better cpu results.
