I see this argument repeated whenever there is a conversation about issues like this. But I almost never see anyone pointing out this is the equivalent of think of the children applied to software distribution. While indeed this kind of control reduces the chance less informed users run random code downloaded from sketchy sites. I think it does little to actually curb malware, since all you have to do to pass the bar is pay 100 dollars to apple. I believe this is Apples attempt to fully control the software distribution business for macs the way they do for iphones. Eventually mandating that all software comes through their store, uses their payment provider, etc.
