It's a two-way street.

Despite selling less than 20% [1] of smartphones across the world, its App Store accounts for over 64% [2] of app revenue. Apple and its developers somehow built an App Store that people are willing to spend more money on.

If it's purely thanks to developers, why isn't there more revenue on Google's Play Store?
