Single digits are single digits. If they can't reach the bulk (90+%) of their target audience, developers will gnash their teeth and grudgingly move on to the "more difficult/fragmented", seemingly "less lucrative" platform... because, apart from niche dwellers and (snobbish) luxury afficionados, that's where most users and the bulk of their target audience will be.
