I'd assume the missing link is the percentage of users of each platform that are willing to pay for apps. Given iOS has a higher entry cost, it'd make sense that more iOS users would pay for stuff.

People at this kind of hackathon aren't caring as much about that as they are "what kind of hardware do I have and how easy will it be to get this to work".

That's a fact. Android users are cheap when it comes to paid apps.
