> the more open environment of Macs and PCs is just not appropriate for mobile phones This is changing too. The last major MacOS upgrade added iOS-style permissions for some things (contacts access comes to mind) and the latest version of MacOS (Catalina) VASTLY expands that. We're not just talking about apps from the Mac App store either which are sandboxed. Fire up terminal and you can't access the underlying SQLite database powering contacts anymore. sudo to root and you still can't! MacOS is gradually adopting a more iOS-style permission model in an incredible way. One which does not even remotely phase or inhibit me as an extreme shell power-user. It's a quite impressive transformation they're undertaking here.
