When things eventually open up, when Apple is finally forced to permit other app stores on their mobile devices, I'll take a hard pass on them.
You are saying you are happy in a "safe secure system".
In contrast, a "walled garden" is a prohibition on alternatives, not a source of safety. The prohibition of alternatives does not make the App Store safer.
If anything, it protects Apple from competing with safter alternatives! Like an app store only for children. Or an app store of formally verified apps.
Please correct me if I am somehow missing something...
There are still scam apps on Apple and apparently they don't get removed promptly either. This one was reported 12 days before the post was made.
Many of the comments in the thread are telling the poster that he "should have verified the app"

So not safer, just more restrictive.
1) I happy having a walled garden, I feel safe
2) I am happy being imprisoned in a walled garden with no door, I feel safe
1. I choose to buy Apple products because I enjoy the security and features of them, and can leave the ecosystem anytime I choose to.
2. I'm indentured to Apple, Tim Cook owns my soul and the souls of my children, and we can never escape.
