Most likely the result of two things:

Google’s cost of entry is much lower than Apple’s. The cost of getting banned is much lower and so scammers can try more.

Google doesn’t do nearly the same level of due diligence that Apple does for the App Store. That’s not to say that Apple’s is perfect but it’s clearly a far better model of protecting users.

People that want to run whatever can always go through the crazy levels needed to jailbreak their iOS system, and install whatever they want. And “normies” get more protection.
