Why is this always added as if it's relevant? If I'm selling an app on both stores I care about how much money I can make in total, how many Android phones have been sold globally is just trivia.

Because it directly reflects how successful the walled garden Apple has built is for developers. It’s attracted great customers, and made them feel very safe and comfortable with purchasing apps.

If you don’t like the ratio, just say App Store sales are 50% higher than Android.

That $35B didn’t exist until Apple created the iPhone and built its walled garden.
