The reasons are manifold but I think some of the key aspects surrounding this are:
- Fear of lawsuit for too direct of similarities (which is bunk, but Apple WILL try it)
- not everyone likes the iPhone keyboard layout (has smaller keys)
- Development = time = $ to HTC, they are building a device within an operational cost budget, and to load several keyboards (or KB themes) into the ROM for the device simply raises the cost- and is unnecessary because those options are available via the play store if anyone should want them.

The phone is not developed with a premium keyboard?
|
Here again, "premium" can be a matter of perception. Sense has had one of the "best" keyboards on Android for a while (again, this is subjective observation), and I am sure they haven't spent much development on it since it's initial acclaim/success. But to do so would kind of miss the point of the modern smartphone ecosystem, manufacturers just have to maintain and keep their system-level apps (like the keyboard) relevant, and if people want better, better is readily available...
