Apple uses the excuse of security to hold a monopoly.

You are shown that this is by no means as secure as they want you to believe.

Then you argue that "of course, with a market that big!"

So basically you are proving that Apple uses the excuse of security to hold a monopoly.

Not only that, it proves the opposite of the claim.

Suppose there were multiple app marketplaces for iOS. Then some of them could be extremely selective by finding a niche, and thereby be more trustworthy than any unified store that has to carry a million general purpose apps with only cursory evaluation from various publishers of little or unknown reputation.
