(2) Those high-ranking politicians almost certainly already make heavy use platforms that allow "side-loading" and alternative browsers. That means the attack surface doesn't change much from where it is right now.
I wonder how Apple will respond when high-ranking politicians acknowledge that security is a personal responsibility that Apple was unfit to provide in the first place. That will be a fun discussion, albeit further down the proverbial line.
I mean, if they had the choice not to buy Apple, they might buy something that they're unprepared to handle, so what you're saying necessarily implies that they have no non-Apple choices at all, or at least no choices that aren't just as locked down as Apple and run in just as hidebound a way.
With all sincerity, fuck you and fuck everybody who thinks like you.
Thank you.
