How many Android apps are really useful? How many of them are "well done"? How many of them are unique? We have less apps, this is true, but most of them are really good pieces of software and satisfy almost all our needs: this is the real important thing.
Although, it can be argued that a market full of many different variations of music players, video players, file browsers, web browsers and so on does foster far more competition and new ideas than a platform with far fewer or with far less interest to do so. Firefox vs Chrome vs IE vs Opera, anyone? It's always nice to have choices, too.
