I totally agree.
But here's the thing: if you want a secure platform usable by the majority of people, the best choice (by a lot) is ios, followed by osx. The app store is certainly imperfect, but hopefully that will get tightened up over the next couple years.
Relatives who've been hacked ask for how not to get hacked, and my best answer is the above: use ios, particularly for banking. For a laptop, use osx and buy programs either from well known brands (adobe, microsoft) or buy app-store apps.
