So you admit having a walled garden doesn't protect you from malicious apps, but you still want on to...protect you from malicious apps?
I just want you to envision a moment where the opportunity for two bad things happening is worse than one.
Honestly I really don't get the anger here except that everyone has decided that opening the floodgates is the only way forward.
So then... continue using exclusively Apple's store then?
If you consider Apple to be the gold standard for security, you have just keep going as you are.
I don't see how giving other people the freedom to choose infringes on your security.
No you fool! Don't you see that because Wish exists buying from Best Buy is also a scam?!
Honestly I don't get people like this. Are they trying to protect other people? I've never seen it framed that way, but it's the only reasonable explanation.
