Tim Cook not opposed to porting Apple apps to Android (but they're not going to)

Tim Cook not opposed to porting Apple apps to Android (but they're not going to)

Apple CEO Tim Cook, wrapping up his stint on stage at D11, said Apple wasn't religiously opposed to porting iOS apps to Android (or presumably other platforms). Cook claimed that, if it made sense, Apple would indeed consider bringing apps to Android. However, and especially in the case of iCloud, Cook doesn't currently think it makes that kind of sense.

In other words, they could but they won't. Not now, and not in any near future Cook can see. So, unlike Windows, Android gets no glass of cool iTunes water in their particular hell.

Anyone at all surprised or disappointed by any of that? Any hopes pegged on iTunes Store or iTunes Match for Android? FaceTime or iMessage?
