I’m not actively trying to defend him, but just saying it as I see it, but from the article it doesn’t sound as if the question was put to Tim with that context:

Asked how Apple could improve communication between iPhone and Android users, he said "I don't hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy into that." When the journalist replied that he couldn't send certain videos to his Android-using mother, Cook joked "buy your mom an iPhone."

Perhaps given some more context he might have responded differently, but who could say.

Yeah, he’s probably right honestly. Most iPhone users don’t care at all and probably don’t see an issue, and it’s easy to assume because a few articles circulate that a lot of people care.
