Why do things need to be more secure on mobile. Why can't apps have access to the deepest parts of the system on mobile and desktop?

- brazzledazzle 11y agoI'd like to see a good response to this because I'd be way more fucked by malware on my laptop than on my phone.
- voltagex_ 11y agoI have several friends now who don't have a laptop or don't use it - they exclusively use a tablet/phone outside of work. They'd definitely be impacted by malware with access to all their data and communications, not to mention the ability to rack up massive monthly bills. I know the grugq says not to root Android for maximum security, but I prefer to have the toggle. I don't like this continual removal of features from phones and I strive to have the same level of access that I had on my Nokia N900 - but it has to be an informed choice. There has to be a middle ground somewhere between Android's "Cryptolocker.apk was successfully installed!" and Apple's "thou shalt not covet thine neighbour's underground app store on penalty of death".
