A good question.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Market
On 17 March 2009, there were about 2,300 applications available for download from the Android Market, according to T-Mobile chief technical officer Cole Brodman.[3]

By December 2009, there were over 20,000 applications available for download in the Android Market.[4]

By August 2010, there were over 80,000[5] applications available for download in the Android Market, with over 1 billion application downloads.[6][7] Recent months (in 2010) have shown an ever increasing growth rate, recently (in May 2010) surpassing 10,000 additional applications per month.[8]
In my opinion one of the reasons is that they like to use Java and it is highly productive programming language and it has good development tools.
