You have plenty of malware on mobile platforms. Not to mention vulnerabilities that have eclipsed any other platform in terms of potential for devastation. Like Stagefright for android, which gave attackers unlimited access without the need for any user interaction; only precursor is carrier enabled MMS service. Treating users like idiots that need to be placed in the "pillow room" and building these app platforms under the pretext of security and convenience/ease of use is the reason we're in this swamp where your awesome pocket hardware has been reduced to an ad client which you have 0 control and ownership over. Everyone's parents have survived the earliest days of computing where security was as its lowest, lack of common knowledge at its highest.
