Android is not a "new standard". It is not a format. It is an operating system and I doubt very, very much if publishers had anything to do with its development. It was originally developed as a mobile phone operating system and most probably consideration for e-books never entered into the developers mind.
Android does not "appeal" to publishers. They still publish their books in their preferred format ... ePub, PDF, PBR, TXT, HTML, etc, etc, etc, ... and most likely give minimal thought to which OS the reading device will use (unless it is specifically for Kindle, of course).
To me, your entire assertion, from starting point to conclusion, is meaningless.
