While I can't speak for Android, I think the simple answer is that Apple provides sample code and applications that are examples in great UI design on iOS. I'm not seeing the same level of detail or commitment from Google or its partners at this time. It is much easier to copy off of a good design than to create a new one from scratch

(Replying to myself here) On the other hand.. maybe it boils down to what the users will put up with. If you come to iOS with a real crappy interface 9 times out of 10 you will be massacred in the user comments and reviews. Maybe Android users have a lower tolerance for crappy UIs? I ask not trying to pick a fight or start a flamewar, but out of genuine curiosity. If iOS users are more apt to pay for applications, I suspect for the most part that they have little to no tolerance for substandard UX. So if it is free no one really cares, but if you are paying for something you now have a vested interest in the product.
