To finish off you hand-picked quotes "Producing for Android meant that we had to redo all that work because all our content was restricted to the iOS platform..." So it looks like they weren't being 'lazy' at all, rather it's about Android users, for whatever reason, being unwilling to download the magazine. Downloads in the region of 80:1 in iOS favour illustrate the issue precisely.

"because all our content was restricted to the iOS platform..."

They chose to restrict their content to iOS because of laziness; they did not want to look for a cross-platform solution. What do you expect Android users to do when you give them a pale imitation of a product that exists on iOS? Of course they're going to go elsewhere.

They said that they had to redo all the work. It took them 4 days per issue to complete the task as a result.
