iTunes just feels bloated on Windows and doesn't exist for GNU/Linux.
iOS devices cost insane prices outside contract for a smartphone. As I am not willing to pay more than 300€, even if that isn't a problem to me. As many fellow Europeans I don't do contracts.
As a developer, iOS is a more closed system than Android and Windows Phone are. Specially how information gets in and out of the device without gatekeeper software like iTunes.
I don't intend to pay for an Apple system just to develop for iOS, given that I work with UNIX/Windows systems so I already have enough hardware at home.
Finally, on my home country, iOS devices are third place given their cost vs the average income.
