iOS apps require an Apple PC/Laptop to be used to develop the apps. It is also way more expensive and way less accessible for someone to launch an app to the App Store. Android is way more accessible and only charges a small amount of money for the user to launch apps to the Google Play Store. The Java language used in Android development can also be used in many other situations, thus making it extra useful. I can't ofcourse confirm this is the reason, but it surely is what I think
