> When I install something from those stores, I feel like there is some level of vetting against malware I don't. Google Play has served me malware on my device (touchpal) that went undiscovered forever. And tons of high search ranking apps are straight up scams or data harvesting fronts even if they aren't legally "malware." I feel more secure about web apps because at least I am protected by the browser's sandboxing/fingerprinting protection (and in my case Cromite's extra blocking). IDK about iOS, but Google Play is a dumpster fire. I hope it burns to the ground.
