Your semi-serious theory is crap. That one study you cited is not enough to make an all-encompassing statement enumerating the benefits or detriments of developing on one operating system or another. Nor is it properly indicative of the gross spending habits of an entire user-base.

That Wired article is similarly ridiculous - I find it exceedingly hard to believe that people who spend $6000 on alcohol in one night and have to replace this inane habit with equally obscene in-app purchases aren't just outliers. They're also not indicative of any real substantial user-base.

What I'm trying to get at here is that your favorite theory is completely unsupported as written. It's a gross oversimplification, generalization, and it's potentially insulting.
