They're either telling porkies and it is - or as you say, maybe the market is not stable.

Totally agree about the chicken and egg situation.
However, I think both Microsoft and the developers need to up the ante.

I think this article sums it up nicely. Whilst there have been improvements, more needs to be done - http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/windows-phone-apps-fix/

But one thing to consider is that 11% of the market, is not 11% of their users. 

Go North East and Arriva both use Google Analytics to track and report website traffic. I've obviously not seen theirs, but the reporting data Google Analytics provides is substantial. You get a real picture of what devices your users are using, their software (and versions), and so on. If there was a substantial number of users logging on from Windows Phone devices, then they'd instantly have the business case to develop their apps for Windows Phone.
