trustworthy applications (i.e. apps in the Play Store)

Please don't equate trust with any app store like that. Firstly, many incidents have shown that this blanket trust isn't warranted, and second, the final arbiter of trust is the owner of the device, not the owner of the app store.

100% false. When a user buys iOS they willingly (maybe not stating 'I relinquish my control to Apple', but implicitly) give up a degree of freedom in determining who they trust to Apple. It's well-known that you can only get apps from the App Store when using iOS.
