Do these people not do banking on Windows machines? The malware situation was infinitely worse on Windows - I see an Android device with some unwanted ads maybe once a year from a friend or family member, but Windows devices are a weekly occurrence and the really nasty stuff - like password sealers and banking trojans do exist, but are extremely hard to come by on Android, compared to Windows where clicking a pop-up and a run button could leave you permanently infested.
