Two reasons (at least):
-the profit motive is not the only nor even the main reason to develop apps (obviously, with all the great FLOSS out there), but earning some money could make it easier
-there may be billions of Android users, but also millions of scammy apps to compete against. Smaller user base, but less competition and more motivated users.
