Oracle seems to disagree:

But while we can't take Oracle's statements at face value, how do you know Android isn't making Google money? It's also likely that without Android, Google's revenues would've declined a lot faster.
Even if say people would've still used Adsense/Admob on iOS or other mobile operating systems, look what Apple did - it allowed adblockers on its platform. Google doesn't allow them and Chrome, which is the dominant browser on Android doesn't support extensions, so no adblock there either.
- y4mi 10y agothere are adblocks on google play store. its just that the mobile chrome doesnt support extensions. google isnt stopping anyone from a local "adblock" proxy or editing the phones host file.
