I have a react native app and it runs in both stores. The iOS users drive most of my revenue. My app could not survive without the organic search traffic from Apple.

I guess I was a bit misleading in my original comment. 98% of my users come from iOS and Android organic search results. I haven't been able to find any profitable non-store marketing channels.

iPhone users tend to buy "more" from store. Android users don't really care about apps.

It's not Apple or Google. It's users who are paying.

Checking multiple sources, Google Play store revenue was a bit over half the Apple App Store last year, so around the 8 billion mark for GPA and 14 billion for AAS.
