Considering Android apps make 15% of the money iOS apps make, perhaps it is for the best to only target devices that happen to be owned by people who spend money.

If android apps make 15% of what iPhone apps do despite having a much larger market share, what would be the point of targeting a smaller fraction of that? Even if those users are all willing to pay you're probably not going to get higher than that 15%.

The "high-end" at market on iOS is bad enough, would you want to try and fight that battle on android?
