Example. Kayak has a free android App. Some of their competition may not. Why would I pay for the app, when Kayak obviously wants my business enough to provide me with the tools that make it easy for me to choose them.
You wouldn't, and you shouldn't, at least not as a savvy consumer. But that doesn't change the business model of many companies that decide to explore the Apple app business first. Many, if not most, will eventually get around to building an Android app. Eventually most companies will stop looking at apps as experiments and start building them for both platforms at the same time. We are not there yet, but we will be soon. None of that changes the current business model I described above.
