At this point I am convinced HN commenters have a blind spot when it comes to how easily non-technical users get infected with malware. The latest statistics[1] show iOS has significantly fewer malware infections compared to Android and Windows devices:

iOS: 1.72% Android: 26.64% Windows: 38.92% IoT: 32.72%

Android and Windows devices don’t necessarily have the same OS-level security provisions, so this isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison. It’s probably true that iOS as an operating system has had stronger security from the start, but that’s not related to the app distribution channel.

Those are not malware infection rates, they're OS "marketshare" of all infected devices.

I'll modify my wording but that doesn't change the overall point.
