Why popular apps come to Windows Phone so lately?

[frenzyvanrafi]

I wonder why most popular come lately to Windows Phone but Android and iOS get first. Example like Instagram come lately to WP

So why? Is MS wants WP keep secured from malware? (Because WP are security prioritized) Keep WP looks clean? Developer pleasures? Or what you know?

Please answer my question? I'm so curious

Thank you

WP is a distant 3rd in OS sells (8% WP VS. about 20% iOS VS. 70% Android). Not as much money in it. They can make us wait a little longer. The growth of WP is appealing, though, so long as 2014 doesn't slow down any, I think you will see developers beging to pick up the pace. However, I still do not see a change in the fact we will be 3rd to get most major games/apps/podcasts, just the wait will slowly shrink as sales increase.

Because companies are generally short-sited. They see 3% marketshare and think that means 3 people when it really means tens of millions of people they're leaving out. All of these reports need to de-emphasize percentage and look more at total install base.
