No, it's not. You can ask pretty much anyone about what Android brings to their mind. Most people's responses would be something along the lines of "cheap, but shit quality". They might not necessarily put it that blatantly, but it's what's intented and meant.
Of course, there is a good market for shitty quality cheap phones too. I know several people who buy cheap dumb phones just so that they can leave their expensive iPhone at home when going out to get drunk. This way you don't lose the more expensive item. I have never need to do that as I don't lose items while drunk, but several people have chosen that way. Android phones are somewhere along those lines - you get it because it's cheap and you don't particularly care if you lose it. You could even get an Android phone as your drunk phone so you can leave iPhone at home.

Seems like Google's business plan is too "advanced" for you to understand. Great way to show your own stupidity.
All your story proves is the relative stupidity of iPhone owners you know. Fall down drunks who only care about fashion accessories.
I don't even own an iPhone. I own old HTC Windows Mobile based phone. I just don't use my phone almost at all, so I see no reason to upgrade.
