Unpopular realities: The App Store really, really does make you safer on your mobile devices, even if it does that by preventing a lot of specialty applications from existing on their platform. Fortunately, you can still use Android if you rather.

Until certain critical points of safe and free, yeah, I'd rather be free than safe.
But also, the safety is an illusion. Not having Epic games on your phone doesn't make you safer. Conversely, pig butchering apps get into the app store anyways
