This simply isn't true. Android is much more open yet app spend is way lower compared to the smaller marketshare iPhone.

An open app market means a flood of free apps which means less money spent. Good Devs will absolutely lose in this scenario. Outsourced sweatshop devs will do everything cheaper.

Was referring to they = Google, spend = Google's funding of Play Store development and infrastructure (in context to parent's comment)
