The point being made was that since Android is outselling iPhone by 2:1 globally it is impossible to argue that the iOS app market is a "huge differentiator" in the favour of iPhone over Android.

In fact if one were to follow the logic it would go like this:

Hypothesis: the platform's app market is a huge differentiator for consumers when it comes to selecting between iPhone and Android.

Fact: in the last quarter, globally, Android outsold iPhone by 2:1.

Conclusion: the Android app market is better than the iPhone's.

Your strawman is of course correct, as all good strawmen should be. Both Android and iPhone are eating into the market share of Blackberry and Nokia.
