What does "top grossing 10" on App Store have to do with anything? Do you think Android users regularly check out Apple App store to look for your software? :P
Your attitude is very common among iOS developers and it's the main reason why you only have 10% of userbase on Android - companies that actually understand their audience have no issues reaching wide users and profits on both platforms.
If you deliver a subpar submarketed product on App store you will fail. If you deliver a subpar submarketed product on Play Store you'll fail as well. It seems you did the second thing.

Actually, the apps are virtually identical, except for platform UI differences to cater to each group. The Android audience is just not as valuable, dollar-wise, as iOS regardless of market share. Our subscription numbers prove it.
