This article commits a composition fallacy and ignores that Android is the cost-leader.
Yes, as the #1 low-cost solution you're going to have users you don't make a return from, but you have enough users that as a sum you make returns. Android's strategy isn't to maximize returns from each user.
It's a subjective article and doesn't really provide anything insightful beyond FUD of the future.

Google is trying to maximize returns for each AdWords user, for example. App developers all have their own markets and their own strategies which are mostly irrelevant here.
