I should tell you that Android SDK takes $0.

And $25 for distribution on the store.

So what, if those $100 prevent shitty copy-cats, the more the better.

It does not in fact prevent anything. There are hundreds of shitty apps in both iOS and Android.
Which proves the point that $100 is quite affordable.
For first world professionals, it’s nothing.

For others it’s steep. And maybe that was the point.

Others tend to have an Android dominated market, so....
$100 might cheap for westerners. Not for us.
True, that is why Android and feature phones rule in such countries, not iOS, thus making a moot point when customers aren't using Apple devices anyway.
