Not all of those reasons are evil either. Some app developers may genuinely find the independent platforms more viable to them. For example, any utility that interacts with system files is an outright rejection at App Store.
Similarly, a developer may decide against putting up the app on the more known platforms due to financial reasons. An app displayed on the App Store would be charged a display fee.
This, a developer might not be willing to pay. Keeping all the returns on the product you have spent your time and effort on, is after all, nothing unethical.
