A properly motivated Apple would have been pushing cross platform Swift/SwiftUI and launched an App Store on both Android and Windows.

Imagine how many developers would just release to the App Store and re-release that on Android/etc to not need two codebase, and Apple would expand their 30% cut massively.

A lot of Android users would get apps from Apple’s store due to vetting/generally higher investment in App Store apps from major companies.

But Apple does not want Android users to have the same apps people have on their iPhone. They want as much distinction as possible.

Apple is the iPhone company, everything else is just accessories.
