Normally if a platform has relative low market share - the value of an exploit is relatively low (ie, 15% market share is pretty low). An android exploit gets you 85% of your market, maybe even more internationally where these get heavily used.

Android is about $30K per point market share and iOS is around $130K per point market share (4x more).

For example, it's not that Exchange / Outlook are HARDER to get an RCE on that makes the payout so high for those, it's because they have a LOT more usage than something like postfix etc.
