Because rather than having a single set of standards to adhere to, such as in iOS, developers must understand and try to make their applications compatible with a wide variety of hardware and software configurations.
So it’s not actually 72%, but 100’s of smaller markets, each of which must be individually tested for compatibility against a Dropbox app. If a developer finds a problem on the 100th device, she needs to test that fix against all of the 99 other devices. Not only is this tedious and expensive, but it is a really good way to burn out your developers.
