If you look at it from an incentive view point you have to pay people more to Capitan a sinking ship.

Also worth noting is that market share may or may not be relevant. Android has a higher market share world wide compared to Apple, however Apple users generate more revenue.

All this to say that the op graph is at best an incomplete picture of things designed to rile up people who lack critical thinking.
