Agreed. And I think the article's point about whether or not Apple's store is safe or not is moot. The question really is, how much worse would it be if they weren't there. I'll take a good attempt at safety over the wild west. If you removed the protections today, how much faster do you think the average user would get pwn'd by a rogue app? Because at some point we all will; security isn't black and white. The walled garden has big problems, but the other side of the wall is way uglier.
