   I don't know if 'hate' is the proper term. Without infinite resources you   
   do a ROI analysis and drop marginal projects. Some developers also are not   
   enthused about Apple wanting a slice of in game sales, for example. Then   
   there was that $20 billion Google paid to Apple to be the default search   
   engine in Safari. Google might get some of that back as Apple pays them $1   
   billion a year to power Siri.

   I would question the 'better' UX. I can't do a A/B comparison since I   
   don't have any Apple devices but I am not dissatisfied with the Android   
   experience. Maybe I'm a redneck with poor tastes.
