"Don’t download random shit from people you shouldn’t trust, and you won’t have malware and/or keyloggers."

If only it was that simple. Apple's audience is not really us. I can't count the number of times, my mother-in-law tried to install random stuff on her PC and me having to deal with it. This is Apple's user.

Apple has 1.5 billion users. I’m fairly certain they don’t only target technically challenged people.

Ditto for Linux and Android. I'm sure I could find a sketchy closed source kernel module somewhere out there that's actually malware. That's not a problem in practice though because I'd have to leave the confines of the official repositories for my OS and intentionally seek it out.

(I suppose NPM could be an interesting point of discussion here though.)

Tell this to the 99% non techie populations
