I've only got about a 15 years or so experience ;).

The big difference here is that it's a virtual platform. The emulator 
runs a VM, and the phone runs the apps in a VM, and although there can 
be edge condition problems between VMs, there's usually a pretty good 
test suite which ensures that there are no major problems differences 
the VMs.

All that said I could be proven wrong, but if that happens how many 
developers do you think will hang around knowing that every new android 
device could cause a number of new problems.
