The Mac is different due to:
1) Legacy
2) Professional requirements: huge apps with massive libraries etc
However, the Mac App Store does have similar rules and if you stick to only installing software through the App Store you will have a much safer computing environment.
Once the next round of sandboxing is added to the Mac it will be very similar to iOS.

And there are plenty of ways to attack an iPhone, including via the App Store - just look at this story. All Apple's policies do are allow it to ban apps that aren't in its best interest and give its users a false sense of security.
