If more users are sending encrypted messages over APNS instead of SMS (remember, SMS is effectively unencrypted plaintext), that sounds like the definition of "more security". Hmmming and hawing over "OEMs... and ...lax app marketplace security" seems like quite a high bar to hold, a bar so high it ceases to be useful. Remember, iPhone users can disable passwords on their iPhone entirely; if that's not something you ever worry about, then worrying about a minority of OEM's seems like mere pretext to keep your comfy walled garden all to yourself.
