> And we aren't talking about clones of polished products here.
Well when I said "This is why I stick to iOS apps" I was actually referring to the cloning of popular websites like quora,reddit etc.I am sorry if I did not make that very clear.
>Lets take something with a bit less stigma.,Background-changing apps. There are, what, 100+ of them?
Why take such an example when I have clearly agreed that it very easy to clone such apps.

Hmm...now that makes me think !!
Lets take something with a bit less stigma. Background-changing apps. There are, what, 100+ of them? Probably more? Lots of them even share some backgrounds, which is visible if you just skim a dozen from the app store's images. And almost every single one has probably paid back the dev time it took to make, if not through sales then through ads.
