It's Not Just Apple vs Android

Yes, but a 30% cut gives them all incentive in the world to further destroy the open marketplace (html). I do not have evidence that it is happening - but this must be an Apple goal. Simply because of how they are profiting from this arrangement.

Or, to put it another way: the financial incentives for Apple are not at all aligned with my personal interests.

Whereas I can not say the same thing about Google. I do not see how their financial incentives are colliding with my personal interests. Yes, privacy is a concern, but I am not - that I know - affected by that, and there are worse players here (Facebook).

In that light, Apple==bad, Google==good.

So you're claiming that the company who initially pushed web apps as the iPhone API but caved under pressure from developers, the same company who developed webkit. You're claiming this company is trying to destroy the web?

Do you not think that's a little unjustified?

With Google you are the product, with Apple you are the customer. I like Google but I trust Apple.
