Any time I would listen to a tech podcast, they'd discuss Apple/its products for a majority of the time, despite OSX having less than 20% market share (and iOS having like half of Android's as well). But obviously since their products are the priciest as well as the most """prestigious""" they deserve an inordinate amount of attention and hype.
Google sucks, obviously, but I only had Android smarphones and I pirate all the apps without jailbreaking or using fancy roms. 4pda.ru is a great site full of roms and patched and moded apps and what not with great moderation so you don't install malware. The biggest obstacle to pirating apps on Android in my experience is the whole software as service thing.
