Nobody cares about what runs under the hood (I mean the real market, not the dozen of us nerds), as long as it looks and plays nice. Market already uses linux both in the form of android but also as a server OS. For both of these the financial incentive was there for someone to write the drivers, make the UI user friendly (android users never have to open a terminal), create sales channels.
Desktop and laptop market is weird because no hardware vendor wants to compete with MS. The only one who does (apple), owns both the hardware and software as well as sales channels, so they are not affected by MS’s deals.
I had to open a terminal on android to copy photos to laptop with tar|netcat for backup and larger screen.
No, you didn’t, that’s just the solution you chose to go with. You could’ve used literally any other file transfer method.
Which method, sftp?
