Without apps android wouldn't have become a standard. Look what happened to Windows Mobile. So Google owes the developers the current status of Androids.

Android is there because they were quick to move ( first movers advantage).

Windows phone tried plenty to sway developers, so it's that would have worked. It would have been the money incentives Microsoft did, since it was part of it's marketing.

Not because they actually swayed developers.
