It lets Apple keep making all the profit in smartphones without facing antitrust concerns for dominating the upper-middle to high priced smart phone market. It also gives Apple a motivation to let Google have it's way with advertising as there is a quid pro quid -- if Android goes down than Apple would be torn apart by regulators in Europe and China at the very least.
Thus nobody was really supposed to use Android or write apps for it.
