I mean, it's obviously the price that pushed Android to where it is today.

The fact is, you can buy some models of Android phones (new) for under $75. This makes smart phones affordable even in developing countries. That fact has sent the number of smart phones in people's hands through the roof. And honestly, part of what makes them cheap to manufacture is in fact that FLOSS base, allowing any company to develop one.
