Yeah, I think the numbers in the article should be good enough for a bunch of music use cases, but remember it used to be like half a second which is obviously unworkable.
Well financed developers like ROLI already have instruments on android. I think the incredible instruments available on iOS are also there because the App Store promise actually kind of works for them. They write a great application, upload it to server and people buy it for more than 2.99$, upfront. And unlike VSTs, no one even pirates it. The general idea/stereotype is that no one wants that on android. An open source port of VCV Rack would be feasable and wonderful though. That's the only free instrument I have installed on my music iPad.

Edit: nevermind, that was not free either.
