Don’t blame the devs. If you’re an iOS dev you’re just an iOS dev, period. It’s the most important platform and it’s very quirky. It is not a simple matter to republish on Android, especially when it means doubling the complexity of the code you manage to increase your user base by 20%, which is realistic in many cases. App developers just see an enormous amount more engagement from iOS. Yes there are a lot of Android phones but many of them are dirt cheap and may never even see a single app install because it’s just a phone to its owner.
I manage a large and global app. We are everywhere. And since you bring it up, the US is far and away our largest market. Over half the business all on its own. India has over a billion people and is like 95% Android but good luck making a dime there. Business stats don’t always mirror demographic stats. Nice try at an insult, though.
Wacom EMR is used in the mid+ Samsung tablet line which is superior to the Apple Pencil and many other brands like Lenovo and even Google’s Pixel tablet use variations of USI styli, granted they aren’t that great for art and are more for note taking.
Once again Apple is really good at marketing because the Apple Pencil isn’t really as good as its popularity would make it seem. It still struggles with line wobble with some iPads not having the issue and others having very noticeable line wobble.
And yet snotty iOS devs won’t bring their apps to Android. Looking at you Procreate and Adobe Fresco.

You should get out of the US more

Android users are less likely to pay for apps.
Which Android tablet even has the equivalent to an Apple Pencil? That’s what drawing apps like Procreate are designed for from the ground up.
Where’d you get that info?

Common knowledge, my friend.
Yeah I don’t think that counts…
Okay ;)
If you know, you know. When you don’t know, it shows.
It sure does.
