Android keeps you inside the Google ecosystem. Google search, Google mail, Google docs, Google RSS reader, Google shopping. Each of these utilities feed the core purpose of knowing you, which is beneficial to Google's bottom line. The better they know their users, the better targeted the ads can be, and the better they can convert.

I'd rather pay a fee than to be surrounded by advertisement everywhere I go, especially on smaller screens.
