Apple is probably selling them at a lower profit margin because they generate revenue through app sales. They will also end up making more to meet demand, therefore making it cheaper for them to manufacturer.
The conversation is about the market penetration of cellular phone OS's, not about the market penetration of the physical phones themselves.
Really, if apple wanted to brag a higher market penetration, they would provide users with more options, like devices made by other manufacturers, or more affordable phones.
