I think you're missing the point.

If I want to play a funky game, then I can choose from free and paid ones. But, if I am buying goods and services, the company should be paying for the development of that App.

IF your assertion that Android developers can't make money is true, it is certainly not the consumers fault. It's the failure of both the developers and the companies who they cater their products to. If a company will generate a certain amount of revenue from an App, then the developer should be paid a fee for their work.

If Coca Cola wants me to buy soda, Levi's wants me to buy jeans, or Expedia wants me to buy airfare, they can pay for their own bloody application developments.

(I don't expect a reply, just making my point.)
