>If it was hard to get people to test drive your app, then 90% of app installs would not be test runs. They would be one time permanent installs.
That doesn't logically follow.
Consider the possibility: Only 1 in 1000 of people who learn about your app is persuaded to install it. And then, of the small number who install it, 90% of those uninstall after 10 minutes.
I've exaggerated the numbers to make the point.
The point is it can be hard to get people to test drive your app and also have most installs be test runs.

They are not mutually exclusive.
