I agree we should push for accessibility with this app, but I wouldn't jump to conclusions that the fact that this one app has some accessibility issues on a competitors platform has any indication at all on the accessibility of Android--Google's own platform. I would assume Google's priority would be to make it's own platform accessible and make sure their own apps work and are accessible on their own platform first. I think it's obvious Apple doesn't make iTunes accessibility on Windows a priority, but this doesn't take away from the accessibility of Apple products and especially Apple products running on Apple products.
