If someone doesn't release on Android because the money they get from sales isn't worth the time it takes to port, that seems a perfectly reasonable approach to take.

If someone doesn't release on iOS because the money they get from sales isn't worth the various negative aspects (e.g. frustration of dealing with reviewers, giving support to a business model they disapprove of), that also seems a perfectly reasonable approach to take.

I don't own a Windows box, or an Xbox or PS3. If I said I was being deprived of video games because Call of Duty doesn't run on "linux on a netbook from 2008", I don't imagine I would get much sympathy.

I was careful to specify: "simply [a] personal opinion". A business decision not to support a platform is not that.

I was also careful to specify: "If your app is worth a damn". Call of Duty is not worth a damn. I'm talking about meaningful apps that actually making a difference.

I was specific, because the opinion is specific. If your app isn't worth a damn, then it doesn't really matter, does it? It's a toy, nothing more.
