Are Android developers that hard to come by? I can write for Android, if anyone needs it.

No, but it's expensive, and it's more cost efficient to iterate on iphone first.

I would have guessed it's more cost efficient to work on the web version first. Don't think most of the people who want to trade want to specifically do it on an iOS device.

Agreed but their product is mobile-first. They want to attract those people that spend 90% of their time on their smartphones. It's like asking why did Supercell / Clash of Clans not launch a web version first :)
