Apple has had core audio API and core midi since maybe the very first iPhone. This puts access to building apps for music right at the developer's fingertips with a standardized API. Android audio was not standardized until very recently. I think that if a developer wanted to make a low-latency audio app on android, they had to develop it for each and every OS release and maybe even phone specific development.
