Not according to my Google account, it's the same 70% as Apple. Although I have heard that Google gives most of their 30% share to mobile carriers, which troubles me; I really don't like the user-hostile carriers profiting from my work.
Android only having ad-supported (realistically)
That's not the case at all. With zero marketing my paid app makes in the high hundreds of dollars per month (after Google's cut), which from my understanding is much better than the median iOS app. Yes, there are plenty of things Google should be doing better with the market, but it's far from impossible to make decent money with paid apps.
I wonder how much money their experiment is really making.

Apparently enough to continue development.
