Even more than that, if you are ad supported, often the ad networks have nothing worthwhile to run in places where these phones are used. If you are freemium in many cases the people using these phones don't tend to spend money on premium features, and certainly are not the rabid buyers that iPhone users with their credit cards already entered and ready to go are on app stores. Sometimes it just doesn't make any sense from a business perspective to adapt a site or an app to cheaper phones or different markets where the profits are not worth the expense.

For example, AdMob may be a great choice for your app in the US and Europe, but a terrible choice for distributing an app in China. Expect to see more Western ad networks acquiring or partnering region-specific ad providers (I speak from experience, my employer owns both a popular EU/US mobile ad network and one of the larger Chinese networks).
