Developers know it's hard to make paid apps on Android, so they are more likely to make them for iOS. But the more that developers do that, the more Google Play gets slanted toward free/advert apps. And the vicious cycle continues. Comments I think it's also an issue of the chicken and the egg syndrome.

Eg using special 3rd party API's like Scringo, or Google search, or?
