I wonder if that’s a self fulfilling prophecy. They expect android users to pay less therefore there tends to be a worse experience ( ads or no app at all) therefore android users are conditioned that apps are worthless.
It might have something to do with side loading making piracy easier but I really think it’s as simple as there being distinct groups within the Android community. I would be surprised if the figures for app spending weren’t pretty similar if you compare people who spent roughly the same amount on their phones.
