How is that misleading? I think that's the point of the entire article. People aren't downloading new apps which means they're likely not plugged in to the app discovery scene. There's a much smaller surface area for developers targeting new customers than the number of smartphone owners. |

That is a very significant point.
I bought my wife a Google Play voucher at Christmas, and she was so overwhelmed by the mess that is the Play Store that it took her three months to find a decent solitaire app.
Everytime she would go looking for one she had to wade through pages of junk and just gave up.
Eventually I found one recommended on a forum and even then when we searched for the exact name in the Play Store it was only in the second row of results.
App discovery is HARD, particularly for people unfamiliar with app stores. I am not surprised that they just don't bother.
