A fairly obvious situation where the top google result is “Kid friendly happy fun town App Store” set up by dark web Corp where you can get pre hacked versions of all major commercial apps for free with built in cheats at the cost of porn pop ups and just trust me levels of scamware.

Most would go straight to Apple with their issues and how do you fix “I don’t know. My cousin installed it for me”?

Presumably Apple has run into the "my cousin installed it for me" issue with Macs and they don't want to deal with it (or pay for it) at iPhone scale.

So where's the evidence that this is a common issue with Android?
