Good for them. Maybe with 2 million additional Android developers in the global marketplace the Google Play store won't look like a giant malware-riddled dumpster-fire with a small number of actually good apps somehow percolating to the top. ... Or we'll have 2 million more Android developers who take shortcuts, create malware, can't figure out security, and overall turn the Play Store into an even larger dumpster-fire, because I still have nightmares from fixing outsourced projects. Kinda like a softer form of outsourcing-induced PTSD. Overall, I consider this a net positive. Granted, I haven't done Android development in a while (again, dumpster-fire), but the sudden influx of novice developers will spur companies to make an investment in an Android app, the Android app will look / feel awful more than 9 times out of 10, companies will get frustrated, companies will inevitably turn to developers who still have battle scars from having to worry about memory management on image-intensive apps. People like me. Emphasis on net positive. The downside is that the ride never ends.
