Erm, that's not the same thing that the comment was referring to. We're talking about paying twice for essentially the same app on two different operating systems.
That's different from the lock in that you are referring to. Your explanation involves installing the same purchased app on two devices running Android.
Also, I have a lot of apps and games that only require me to make a one time purchase on either Android or iOS.
