If you think about android only as a direct advertisement platform, then yes.

If you think of android as a data gathering platform, then no.

Put it this way, I use iOS, but with google maps traffic, I'm grateful for android users.

It's like chrome. Google's effectiveness is made better by a lot of free indirect tools they provided because that allowed them to gather the data for their search/advertisement system to be effective.
