> I can buy my mom an iPhone and know that it's not possible to totally brick it by clicking a link from a dodgy text/email If they add sufficient warnings about sideloading etc. then I don't see a problem. If your mom is incapable of listening to these warnings and follows some guide to install some walware then I'm sorry but maybe she needs parental controls enabled or just a nice talking to about how to use her phone? Forcing everyone else to lose out on game streaming or Spotify signups seems like an overreaction to the problem and an oversimplification of the solution space.
