The Developer Program is the best opportunity for the programmers as well as the owner of developer program. The iPhone got only success because it has app store with millions of quality apps which would be sold directly to the iPhone users. The most quality apps in the appstore, more the customers will be satisfied and all these apps are made by the developers who are registered in their program.
The android development program is also getting huge success after Apple. It has lots of free apps than paid apps. Any development platform will succeed only if it has quality apps in their market app store. And market will have quality apps only if they have good and great developers.
