Not really. It's merely a chicken and egg problem.

Why develop for a platform that has almost zero users? Why buy an expensive device that has almost zero apps?

Agreed - but in the past, Apple has been able to overcome this issue for several new products. If third party developers are understandably less enthusiastic to invest in this platform, Apple could either develop apps themself or pay third party developers to do it (what a novel concept!). But they don't seem willing to do it...
