I took it to mean that Microsoft fosters ecosystems more than Google. Google does have an ecosystem of developers and third parties, though. The biggest difference is that most of those third parties aren't locked into Android the way that most Microsoft middleware providers are.
Examples: Flurry, WinGDB, PayPal (only works when you're NOT using Market/Play Store, of course), Papaya, Open Feint, Corona SDK, FMOD, ... those are the ones that come to mind without doing any searching. Of that list, Papaya is the only one that's Android-only. I've also had a long list of "publishers" approach me for rights to various other markets all over the world -- again, that's peripheral to Google.
Probably what JP wants is a "mobile" conference. I know that's what I want. What I mostly see are Google- or Apple- specific conferences, though. And games, of course. But GDC is where I saw most of the above booths.
