Yes, this might not crush Apple, the article itself doesn't make much sense. The App store, however is number one in the revenue not because it's "better", it's mainly because Apple users are rich (and more likely girls) [1][2][3], and most Apple users buy their iPhones as a 'show off' device than a thing they want to use to its extent. Of course, rich people buy more. They don't buy because they need, they buy because they want. Rich girls will continue to exist.
