The problem is that you can't easily and objectively factor the user experience. CPU are easy to benchmark — and do honestly factor a lot in the pricing.
Android (the OS) development is payed for by other means, and the hardware line is kind of a vanity project.
People may, or may not prefer the Android experience. That's not relevant here.
