    The problem with doing android dev work is that android users simply refuse to pay for useful apps. iOS users on the other hand are more open to it.

    As a developer it makes sense to prioritize iOS if you like money.

      Why pay for apps when you can just sideload pirated version from dubious origin and pay with your privacy and crypto mine for the pirate distributing it?

      Oh, wait, I just said the quiet part alt store advocates doesn’t want to say out loud.

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      That sounds like anecdotal evidence. Android is more popular in more than half of the world and a lot of apps are successful and generate income on both platforms.
