Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge will not support QuickCharge 3.0

While the LG G5 will support Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 standard, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge will only support Quick Charge 2.0. Samsung is not giving a specific reason why the latest standard will not be supported, but it likely has to do with the fact that some of its devices will be powered by Exynos processors which currently do not support the latest Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 standard.

Like I need another reason to not purchase a Samsung.
QC 3.0 or 2.0,it's all good, not a deal maker or breaker for myself.
Their latest from 2015 already charge plenty fast, but, of course, faster is better if there's no downside to it.

Anyhoo, just curious:
Care to elaborate on the other reasons to not get a Samsung?
Removable battery option, I totally get it.
Used to be for me, but, as often as I change phones, a sealed battery is not the deal killer it once used to be.
