Only someone who never tried to compile AOSP can write seriously that "Android is open source". That the platforms are open source is a moot point too.

I don't talk about open source anywhere in my comment.

I'm simply noting that those "dangerous features" are, practically, only accessible to the people that are tech saavy enough to understand the risks.

So the "it's to protect the innocent" argument doesn't seem to hold well.

I agree with you.

My sentence thinks over the top comment and the one you are replying to, both highlight irrelevant factual positions.

Both are interesting details for techies, but in the real world they have no practical value.
