You're not wrong, but don't those same arguments apply to every other device and platform?

Obviously if you prevented people from running non-Microsoft approved binary code on Windows, we'd see a staggering reduction in the amount of malware activity. Is that something you'd endorse?

I consider desktops different than phones. My phone is an appliance for me. I would be pissed if they tried to do it to OS X.

I wrote that as a counter to the 'Windows / OS X does it without issue' line of argument. There are issues. They may be relatively minor (OS X) or very bad (Windows XP), but there is no free lunch.
