That same consumer could care less how well you fared in the Android Devloper Challenge. No one is buying your app because of that reason. And, for that same reason, Apple shouldn't care either. It doesn't hurt them nor does it help you. "Irrelevant platform information" does seem to cover it though.

If Apple feels so superior to anyone else, they have nothing to be afraid about, or am I taking this wrong. The guys should be proud of their accomplishments, and yes, I as a iPhone user am I very interested on cross platform usage since I am not married to Apple. This apps policy scares me and IO close to throw away my Apple developer license and look for another freaky but open minded platform. This is very, very, very silly.
