You can absolutely profit from android games. Just remember that you need to have a game people are willing to pay for.
I assume you are talking about my game called “Blemish”. That was always meant to be a simple game, and an experiment to see how small can a game be for android (the result apk is ~150kb). Unfortunately when I made it (a good few years ago) I was living in a country where I couldn’t monetize it easily (for law reasons), so I decided to make it available for free.
I’m not sure what are the download numbers of android games on Itch, but you can publish on both Itch and other Android marketplaces, to increase the number of potential users.
