Well, a few things which might help: - There's going to be developers who will develop for Ubuntu Touch in their free time, just because they want the platform to succeed, similar to desktop Linux. And essentially no one will do that for Windows Phone, meaning that Windows Phone depends much more on developers to be able to make a profit off of it, and therefore much more on having market share to begin with. - Ubuntu Touch appeals more to developers than Windows Phone does. And if a developer already uses a platform, it's much more likely that they write an app for it in their free time. - Because Ubuntu Touch is open-source, it can be ported to existing phones. You can for example dual-boot it on a few of the Nexus devices already, which again, makes it easier to develop for. Also means there's another way for people to try it out.
