I originally bought an iPad just for music stuff, but a lot of the time I'm hooking it up to an external audio interface for better quality IO and midi. I think that iOS' support for USB Audio and USB Midi devices is also a large part of what helped it build an ecosystem of decent music making apps. I agree that not having a headphone jack combined with the unacceptable latency of bluetooth makes it unusable for on-the-go music making. As for pricing, I think that won't change on Android. Music making is a niche market, and these apps are not cheap to develop.

I hate to go there but I think the other factor is standardized hardware. You're guaranteed certain hardware setups for iOS devices, for Android it's anybody's guess really whether a phone can support some features or not. It would be nice if all Android phones had USB C, of course it would of been nicer if USB C had better regulation since now all USB C interfaces are like... Ah well a guy can dream can't he.
