Any platform needs exclusive apps to draw people to it and only to it. I'm probably never going to get a Windows Phone no matter how good the platform looks because I can't get apps like Tweetbot and Reeder.
Ben Thompson does a better job explaining the why than I do: http://stratechery.com/2013/casual-gaming-is-a-sustainable-business-but-not-a-platform-differentiator/ http://stratechery.com/2013/casual-gaming-is-a-sustainable-b... but the tl;dr is basically that the casual games most people look for on iOS are either already on or easily portable to Android or Windows. If Apple wants people to buy iOS devices to play games (and they should; that's a lot of people!), they need to make sure there are good games on iOS that people can't find anywhere else; otherwise, people will buy cheaper Android/Kindle/nook devices instead.
