>almost nobody choose Apple because of some well though through reasoning behind different app store models.

No, but maybe they chose Apple because on Android their lockscreen got taken over by the top result for flashlight which is actually malware (something that happened to a family member and drove me to recommend Apple)

Why on Earth did your family member purchase an app that is literally provided by the os?

It was a free purchase and there wasn't a built-in flashlight app, just a flash light quick setting, and they weren't familiar with quick settings.

Also what kind of strange victim blaming is this? You want to know why they got a flashlight app instead of knowing why the top Play Store result is malware?
