How much is the push against Apple's App Store policies is the result of Apple's platform having the most lucrative users by a significant margin?

Google has been slowly tightening down its platform too. Not mention, Google's bread and butter makes them money both directly and indirectly, so the incentives beyond security to tighten their platform weren't there from day one. Apple has always made its money based on direct relationships with its consumers (more or less, I'm simplifying a bit).
Now that both stores have been around for a long enough time, I think its starting to become clear that Apple has the more lucrative users to sell to, and I'm sure this plays no small part in the increasing fervor around all this.
