You could do far better than iOS. Worse though is that it encourages very poor infosec because when it's profitable for Apple and often makes doing things correctly difficult or impossible.
It makes checking the hygiene of apps you use impossible, building them from source artificially difficult and expensive and pushes users towards services with serious flaws like icloud backup.
We could have taught people such things, but there’s no profit in that. We want to maximize the number of people using our devices and our software, so that we get richer, even if it means putting some fraction of these users in grave danger. That’s simply negligence. That it’s distributed across an entire industry doesn’t change the ethics. Selling people tools that put them at risk is much different than sharing foss.
