What makes you think they're not impacted? If Verizon were able to offer
the plethora of handset choices enjoyed by the GSM community, they'd
probably be increasing their lead over AT&T at a greater rate than they
are now.

Also, the RCR survey was about why people switch carriers, but what they
should have looked at is why people stick with a carrier. Look at the
big difference in churn rates, where Verizon has always enjoyed a
significant advantage.
