I don't really care what you guys want to call it. I am happy being in Apple's garden. I can let them worry about the black-hats that are lurking out there.
Since moving to IOS X a decade or so ago, I've never had a virus, a Trojan, or any other Malware. Yes, I realise Apple is not perfect and !!!!! could happen one day, but it certainly won't happen everyday/week/month. I am cautious but am happy that Apple does the heavy lifting for me.
So I miss out on some Apps, or some features. It's worth it.
Not everyone will agree with me, but that's OK - I won't try and change your mind.
