I think it is changing.

My personal opinion has definitely shifted, maybe partly because I'm tired of inferior Android experiences of the same app, but also because the looks of Android and iOS seem to be converging anyway.

While maybe they couldn't before, many apps seemingly can now get away with one UX for both platforms - that is a strong simplifier and gives a potential branding advantage.

It may be a good idea to still implement some "platform sensitive" widgets (some behaviors are still slightly different), but the demand for them seems to have drastically gone down.
