Yes, you did say "potential profit." Those weasel words allow you to now, retroactively, claim that you mean profit in... 5 years! 10 years! Whenever Android finally gets around to being, you know, actually profitable for developers. In the meantime, it's 3.5x-4x less profitable to develop for Android than iOS now. That is a fact, not amateurish armchair conjecture. That is why Android apps are so poor compared to iOS apps, because serious businessmen making professional products go where the money is. Meanwhile, the un-curated Android stores are flooded with shoddy junk from hobbyists, inflating their numbers but not improving their quality.
Nah, nah, nah ... I said:

"... greater profitability there in the long run."
"... the promise of overall revenues were greater."
"... potential profit ..."

Those are all precise quotes of what I said earlier this evening.

And, no, I certainly don't mean in 5 or 10 years. How about 1 year. Or 2 at the most.

LOL, I'm so sorry you're having so many issues with reading comprehension. That's your problem, not mine.

As for Google Play, there is no evidence that "hobbyists" are filling it up with "junk." But if it makes you feel better to make up such feeble things ... whatever floats your boat!
