It's because people who can't afford iPhones will buy Android phones. Their low income means they are far more likely to not pay for apps and will just pirate it from somewhere. 80% of Android phone users are straight up pirates. Then they complain when things come out exclusively or initially on iOS. Developers gotta get paid.

That's a lot of bs you're slinging there without any proof. How do tweens with iphones afford them? Oh that's right, mommy and daddy buy it for them because, after all, status is important for their kids. At the end of the day, cell phones are just a tool that do the same thing whether it be Apple or Android. People prefer iOS or Android because it fulfills their particular need. I work in the medical diagnostic instruments field and most engineers I work with use Androids. And let me tell you, we are NOT poor.

That is a sweeping generalisation with nothing to support it except the part on people who can't afford an iPhone buying Androids.
Realistically, if someone truly couldn't afford an iPhone, they would have little option but to buy an Android. The next step down would be a feature phone.
However, the idea that app store revenues are somehow relevant to consumers is seriously flawed. It means nothing.
The rest is completely unsubstantiated.
I know lots of low income iPhone users who never purchase much (or anything). There are high income iPhone users to whom the same can be applied. And the same is applicable to Android users.
Almost all these users have no need to pirate anything because most of their apps are free.

His post is not really about Apple App Store revenues. He is tackling the social economic aspects brought up by the OP (who offered no proof).
If you want to tackle the subject or App Store revenues, this article is not enough.
It is only comparing Google Play Store revenues. They are simple estimates and limitations are taken into account (click through on the articles for the details).
If you want to compare Apple's App Store revenues to those of Android, you will need to add in the third party stores - but prepare yourself for a shock, as the numbers might surprise you.
