Logically this suggests not that Apple should stop removing malicious software but perhaps should have user visibility and control over the process.
For example if you classify possibly unwanted programs from annoying toolbars to randomware on a scale of 1-3 it might be reasonable to provide a checkbox to allow the user to switch between being warned of a negative program and being given the option to uninstall and having this happen automatically for non critical situations.
If the default is to on then 99% of users will be protected.
Arguably stuff like ransomware shouldn't be optional lest the malware set the option.
