That's the original Galaxy S, a device which is now 5 years old. There are plenty of apps which no longer support iPhones that old.

"It's too hard" or "it doesn't make enough money" are more than reasonable. A software limitation in a 5 year old device is not.

You apparently missed that the article itself is from March 2012, talking about a game (Battleheart) released in June 2011.

The Galaxy S was released in June 2010 (so it's not even 4 years old, let alone 5…), it was barely a year old at game release and was not only one of the popular smartphones of the times, as the Nexus S it was also the reference device until November 2011.

It wasn't 5 years old when the article was written, though. The Galaxy S was less than 2 years old at that time.
But devices that limit inbound APK sizes? That's just too much to deal with.
