Get android if apps are important to you. Which apps are you missing?

You have a few choices:
1) find alternative/3rd party apps
2) contact developers and show them there is interest for their app on WP
3) be patient
4) find a different mobile OS if steps 1-3 are not acceptable

Keep looking for apps that you like. The store is always changing and evolving. Different platforms have different strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, due to it's small market share (and therefore, smaller appeal to developers), the "App Gap" is Windows Phone's largest weakness.

Check out this article from Windows Central about Microsoft's efforts to close the gap. Joe Belfiore: We have 'made a lot of progress' in closing Windows Phone app gap | Windows Central

Economics.

Android is more popular, more applications, etc.

It's like how there are more Windows programs than for Mac OS.
