The hardware is at least as important as the software (I'm amazed to see so much scatter between apps), so the homogeneity of the iOS ecosystem is a boon to this sort of measurement. Figure three in their paper shows that the Apple hardware is quite consistent across all models tested.
They did test Android phones and apps; the final paragraph from their results section makes a general statement:
A similar examination of Android apps and devices was not performed because of the low number of apps with similar functionality, and the lack of conformity of fea-
tures between devices. Testing conducted with the four Android smartphones also revealed a high variance in measurements of similar apps between different devices.

Given equivalent or better hardware quality, the same measurements could have been taken without regard to which OEM produced the phone; albeit with more effort on the part of the researchers.
