"OMG no app ecosystem" isn't what phone companies and mobile networks are thinking when they test it and realise that the core apps are beyond basic, connectivity's pretty bad, basic features are still missing and it's slow as hell. They'd all demand Alien Dalvik, which most prospective users would utilise anyway.
Companies need to sell => to sell they need customers => to have customers they need to have apps.

Let's say Bob has garden of apples and he profits from it, but Alice gives him seed of peach and asks to grow. It means Bob has to abound half of man power and to start over and loose part of the profit of apples, why would he do that? On other side if Alice would tell she has garden already and all he needs to sell those peaches in his stores, he would not mind

P.S. No reason i have chosen apples for analogue btw
