The safest computing platform is an airgapped 386, that doesn’t make it useful.

In the same way, iOS may be safe, but entirely useless for many people’s use cases.

And additional, safety is entirely orthogonal to restricting choice. You can have a walled garden that is insecure, e.g. the Amazon Kindles, or you can have an open system that is secure, e.g. OpenBSD.



AviD's rule of security: Security at the expense of usability comes at the expense of security.
