I've not seen updated stats in a long time but saw blog posts from game devs several years ago showing that on Android, there's quite a bit of piracy going on for many one-time-purchase apps, especially games.
While these devs aren't suffering from having to eat the cost of a loss leader, mobile app prices have been driven down to almost nothing for nearly the entire existence of the App Store/Play Store, making the impact of piracy just as bad if not worse for a different reason. While people pirate PC games, there's also a lot of people who pay the full $60US price on Steam which comparably softens the impact.
