What work have they done differently than Android / Google that brings the higher paying users to the platform ?

I am not sure you could find a clear line between the work they've done and the outcome of having high paying customers

It's a great question. Clear lines are always hard, but something has differentiated the two. And it may be less about what Apple has done, and more that Google is not a very good product company.

IMO, having used both platforms, Apple hardware and ecosystem/platform works better for me. /shrug
