I consider myself a pragmatic and I think that the only way to actually be sure there is no poison in your food is to literally produce it yourself.
Someone who's not even telling me the recipe is not a trusted source of premium food.
There is also no poison waiting outside of Apple ecosystem.
There is no offloading decision to someone else involved, you simply have the option or you don't, it doesn't mean you have to go full in one way or the other
You don't have to deep dive every app either, it's a straw man IMO
The argument is the same for picking mushrooms in the woods: you don't pick all of them, put them in the same basket, and then test them for venom one by one, you only pick those that you already know as safe, and you're absolutely sure about it.
Nobody in their right mind would do otherwise.
I'm ok with people trusting Apple more than their parents, what I find disturbing is the idea that if I trust my parents to use the same 3 apps that everybody else in the World uses (WhatsApp, FB and Google Maps) and are certified good, I'm putting them in danger.
It is not true.
It's a false premise.
Also the idea that people will go and install every app they see it's false.
They see a warning, they usually stop right there.
My father used to turn off the phone when he saw the red alert of a missing call, thinking of a malfunction.
There's no risk he's gonna install something by chance.
Also, if iOS is on 25% of the devices in Europe, while Android is on 3/4 of them does it mean that 75% of the 700 million European citizens are not pragmatic?
