Nobody can guarantee their software is secure (secure software doesn't exist), but the cash value of a sandbox escape/jailbreak of iOS on the black market (or probably even through Apple's bug bounty) far exceeds the value that would be generated from some adware or cryptolocker scam all but guarantees that you won't see any widespread malware.

Why would the black market pay huge sums for a sandbox escape or jailbreak -- unless it's for malware?
If the answer is "for use by intelligence agencies", well that's malware by any reasonable definition.
