Doesn't that prove the point that competitive app stores would not harm Apple's business?

It seems paternalistic to suggest that consumers are too dumb to make an App Store decision on their own.

It also proves the point that consumers don’t care....

We have decades of viruses, malware, ransomware, and toolbars on Windows PCs that prove that the average consumer isn’t that technologically savvy.

I’m not saying Macs are immune in anyway to the same exploits. It’s just that not enough people care to create malware on the Mac to make it that big of a deal.

Actually, all it proves is that the Amazon store is inferior to the Google Play store.

As it proves that when people have a choice - ie can afford it - they would rather buy Apple walled garden and all over Android where you can sideload.
