God that thread is infuriating. If they're so worried about apps from outside the Apple App Store being insecure, and want to stick to only installing apps that Apple has approved, then they can literally just limit themselves to only using the Apple App Store and be literally just as "safe" as they were before, with zero difference. They're not forced to get anything from outside the Apple App Store just because the option exists. What, are they infants who can't control themselves? And if other people are using it, so what? Are other people going to install apps on their phones somehow? No, they're not. So others having extra choices they don't want to use doesn't effect them. It's like complaining that your house is made less secure because other people haven't installed a 24/7 surveillance camera and six deadbolts and bullet proof glass like you have. But this is how Apple's propaganda has taught their cultists to think: through learned helplessness. "I need as many choices as possible taken away from me to make sure I'm all safe and secure." Like, no, security (and ease of use) is about having excellent, solid defaults most people won't need to change, NOT about taking away more advanced options.
