Even Google knows it's NOT ALL developers. Here's their (canned) response:
"...We're aware of reports from SOME developers that they see no change, or have a value of 0 (zero), in the active install number displayed in developer console..." The highlight is mine. Some != All and it's not even the majority -- of course, that's assuming that they are not flat out lying. There is no way that the usage patterns of my app would be significantly different from my competitors'. I serisously feel like you are giving way too much credit to Google in your thinking that the ranking formula is somehow super-complicated...
