Yes, but there's a second-order effect. By having Android be a compelling platform, iCloud (or whatever) can't be as easily competitive in the marketplace as a data silo. If my only option for a cell phone were iOS, I'd probably be a lot more willing to buy into Continuity and some of the other Mac-and-iOS-only features.
On the subject of platform curation, it's worth noting that Android lets you sideload apps with a checkbox, and the most generous interpretation is that Apple wants you to pay $99 for the privilege. But I also think it's possible to run an app store ethically and fairly, on a "level playing field" if you will, and in fact Google and Microsoft are both top developers on Apple's.
