Economics? (investing more design/dev time in the [currently, at least] more profitable platform)
Laziness/incompetence? (I don't know how many times I've downloaded an Android equivalent to an iOS app only to find re-purposed, screen captured iOS graphics with a non-native UI)
Device fragmentation, no IB, perception that Android users don't appreciate polished UI/design - take your pick.
Regardless of which excuse is chosen, the blame lies with the designer/developer/manager, not the OS.
EDIT: I'm speaking of custom interfaces rather than stock OS controls and views. Those elements are obviously controlled by the OS.
- guptaneil 16y agoI wouldn't say the blame lies with Android since at the end of the day, the responsibility lies with the designer, but I would say credit goes to iOS for making more aesthetically pleasing UI's easier to make than on Android.
