On desktop, we have enormously complex software that's available for free. Why clang does not send all my passwords to shady servers and Blender does not lock my computer and demand ransom? Yet flashlight app which cost 1 man-hour to develop demands "$1.99 or all your private data".

Clang and Blender are not the norm for desktop software.
