> You trust open source apps on desktop all the time. I trust the software on my laptop far less than the software I install on my phone. I’m much more willing to install AppStore apps from random publishers than I am random software off the internet. There’s nothing on my laptop that didn’t come from a well known, reputable source, and web apps mean I don’t need to install nearly as much software on my laptop in the first place. The fact that the majority of mobile malware targets Android, despite iOS users having much more spending power, seems to be rather compelling evidence that side loading does in fact make the os less secure.
