Money

Analysts estimate Apple makes more money from iOS than Google does from Android. Which is really embarrassing

Not really. It's not as if Google doesn't make money from Android. Any comparison should take into consideration the capital cost (Google doesn't really make many phones so it's much lower) and also the market. Google might mot make money in China but it still makes money in places like India, Africa and South-East Asia where Apple's devices are too expensive for many people. It's also an almost pure services play which means Google continues to make money whether or not people update or buy new phones. And it provides Google with enormous amounts of data for future services.
