The funny thing about this is that often I prefer the webpage of a company's site to the application.
I think you have this backwards. You don't want to support their business, or you (the collective "you" of Android users) would be willing to pay for it. Apple users are willing to pay for a quality product (as evidenced by their hardware choices) and pay for a quality software product (as evidenced by where the money is in mobile app development). Why would developers want to support your desire for free apps when they can sell apps to a larger, more consistent group, of people using a common platform?
