>If I were an average consumer

If you were, you would behave like one, i.e. not care that much (if at all) about security. What you are saying is "I do care about my device being secure".

Yes, I suppose that's true. I should have worded it differently.

Perhaps, the average person would be more upset/notice if they were negatively impacted as the result of a security issue, than if some feature, e.g. real time audio were missing, which I'm sure no one would even notice.

You’d think no one would notice real time audio being missing on android devices, but that discounts the huge amount of music creation thats done on mobile platforms these days. It’s a way bigger market than you’d think!
