The language isn't everything, in fact, it's the least important part of the package. Android has horrible online documentation, iOS has stacks of nicely formatted PDFs and a great online reference. Android tools (Eclipse/Android Studio) are simply horrible, while XCode and related tools are really great. Add to this the performance hit you have from having your code run on a vm and the bloat that comes from using Java itself, and you have yet another reason as to why Android developers are few and far between.
