As a technical user, I share in your frustrations. iOS may be more secure out of the box, but it's an all-or-nothing solution. Either you take what they give you and put your faith in the almighty Apple, or you break out and have no protection at all. Unlike other platforms, where there is a range of options to us, where if we work hard enough, we can make our platform more secure, while still maintaining our freedom to do as we please, because we know what we're doing. That said, I remain grateful that there's at least one mass consumer facing platform that is secure by default and user friendly. For the vast majority of the world, this is more valuable than the ability to tinker. For me personally, it ends up being a toss up. I lament my restrictions, but I'm grateful for the significantly reduced amount of technical support I'm required to do now compared to the (good|bad|^$) old days when a PC / laptop was everyone's primary computing device.
