While I agree that iPhones are more secure, one should also take into account that they represent around 20% of deployed phone devices across the world.

Fair enough, but that doesn't really explain the difference. (5x as many devices but 47x as many malware incidents.)

I wouldnt assume install base is linear to malware incidence. I'd expect something supralinear as you observe here, after all, this type of dev in particular is after cost vs benefit ratio, so to first order only the largest ecosystem is worth your effort.
