No, it’s the most popular because it’s free and can be stuffed onto basically anything while being pushed by the largest advertising company on the planet. Diversity has nothing to do with this

It can also be delivered with said advertising company completely removed from the system. Because it’s open source.
Did you notice how the alternative wasn’t even involved in this discussion? Why do you think that is?

They were? Because steam already is on windows and linux?

Really? You’re really going to pretend Windows and Linux are alternatives to Android? Can we just have an honest conversation, please?
You’re mistaken. They’re still a bunch of assholes. If you specifically live in the EU you might be able to distribute your own apps but they still require Apple’s rubber stamp and Apple still gets to collect the vast majority of their tax. Not the case for Android (anywhere).
