Recalling the days of Bonzi Buddy, I don't think the average consumer is more or less likely to do it on either platform.

Isn’t that the point? Bonzi Buddy could do a lot less damage on an iPhone than a computer and when you delete it, you can be sure that it didn’t leave anything behind.

And it’s not just BonziBuddy.

Even Zoom left a backdoor on Macs after you uninstalled it.
