Indeed, the key for both Android and Windows OSes is to lock those people into their respective ecosystems early on, most people stick to what they know and are familiar with. Apple is letting a massive percentage of the population slip by as they're not offering a reasonably priced phone. We're heading to the same situation we have on PCs, where apple is a niche player and Windows takes the lion's share - just replace Windows with Android in the smartphone arena.
