Why are programs not used on Android devices?

The Android platform has a number of problems. The primary one is how fractured it is with so models of phones and a growing number of tablets. Many of them have their own user interface "skins" rather than the stock Android UI. Different devices have different capabilities. A Samsung Galaxy Tab 9 Ultra and its version of the S-Pen could be a credible rival to an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil setup. The iPad has an advantage of standardization. There are only so many iPad models and they run the same OS software. It would be far more difficult for Adobe's developers to create Android versions of applications like Illustrator and Photoshop that ran in a stable, compatible manner on a wide variety of tablets. Phones are another matter. Only a few Android phones have styluses. I use an Galaxy S22 Ultra phone; its S-Pen is pretty handy, but it's not very good as a drawing tool. I like the Apple Pencil so much more; it works great with an iPad Pro.
