I think the biggest issue is inertia. Most everyone I speak with knows that the toolset for developing on Windows is superior to that of Android (language, IDE, testing, etc), but it's no simple task to be Windows-centric, shell out the cash for licenses, and convince a lot of people to abandon the language and ecosystem they already know for a new one.

Hardly. IntelliJ is far superior to that bloated IDE they call Visual Studio. 12+ gigabytes to install an IDE is just insane.
