Good. The sooner miners get off GPU's the better. Those ASIC miner rigs are absolutely ridiculous and serve zero purpose other than turning electricity into fiat currency.
 
 

Not all algorithms can be mined with ASICs; Ethereum, especially, is resistant to it and responsible for driving GPU sales and shortages; it always will be.  Samsung would have to compete with AMD/nVidia by making a "GPU" for Ethereum and other coins that can only be mined with graphics cards.  It won't be an ASIC by the strictest definitions, rather a graphics card without the ability of video, or just not play games.  Imagine a product that could come off as a cheaper competitor to nVidia's Tesla lineup, but aimed at cryptomining; although there is nothing stopping Tesla customers from choosing that route and using these things for A.I., Deep Learning, etc.  In other words, I don't think Samsung is doing this just for ASIC mining, they are working on an architecture than can be applied in many areas, unannounced as of yet.

I don't understand why they would make and sell them. Why not make them for internal use and reap the benefits of hardware no one else has?

It isn't that Samsung believes in crypto for themselves, per se; all any company needs to know is that someone is willing to pay for it, and if you build it they will come.  All customers that use cryptocurrencies still pay for equipment largely in fiat currencies, which still rules the roost of world economies.  Put it this way, does AMD or Intel believe in overclocking just because they make unlocked processors available to us?  No, it's all the same silicon dies, all they need to know is that we are willing to pay extra for an unlocked model of the same locked silicon.  The point of a business is to make money.  In other words, it is a mistake to figure a company making a product we like is doing it for us or for their end-user customers' gains.  Samsung isn't making ASIC miners because they want the coins, they couldn't care less; that's the marketers job to convince customers that the company benevolently "cares" for customer's needs versus all others, etc. 

Sadly, there's going to be a lot of people just trying to get a break in life that are going to get stung by the craze.  The ones who are just greedy and want something without working for it, those are the ones I'll relish getting bitten in the arse.
 
As the hash becomes more difficult they'll be forced to buying higher and higher memory cards with more compute power.  It's a diminishing cycle and the only ones who really profit are the investment firms and other scammers.

Awesome, maybe that will help normal GPU prices go down? One can only dream.... 

 
If it helps lower the current burden of GPU shortages, then I applaud them.
