You're making the fallacious argument that one developer can be easily substituted for another. That's just insulting to developers, and completely unrealistic.

You're making the fallacious argument that one developer can be easily substituted for another. That's just insulting to developers, and completely unrealistic. I mean, sure, if a developer comes out with something interesting on another platform, some guy will probably try to clone it on the App Store, granting the App Store policies even allow the type of app. It'll never be as good as the original, however. At some point, you do want the real app innovation taking place on your platform first, or you'll be missing out on a lot of critical media and social exposure to a competing platform.
