Saying that the red tint is due to "natural differences in color" with AMOLED screens is just completely bogus.
This is about quality control pure and simple. Any screen can be color calibrated. If Samsung calibrated each screen to a standard color level, before it left the factory, there would be zero issues.
Samsung of course is not alone. Pretty much every phone manufacturer, including Apple, is lazy about this. Google was pretty good on some of the earlier Nexus phones about doing very careful color calibration but lately they've dropped the ball. And Nokia did it very well on the great 808 and 1020, which still have the best screens every put in a phone.
The truth is, color calibration is another step in the manufacturing process and if companies can avoid doing it well they save a little money, speed up the process, and make more profits. That's a deliberate decision that they make.
Usually it works out fine, because most people don't notice subtle color differences, don't know what a properly calibrated screen looks like, or don't care. But sometimes when the screens are off by enough (or when the fickle media picks up on a story, because right now, after the Galaxy 7 debacle, everyone is salivating for Samsung to screw up again), then the decision not to calibrate properly comes back to haunt you.
