eli5: Why do computer operating systems have lots of viruses and phone operating systems don’t?
In: 5085
Phone operating systems are largely designed to assume the user is not experienced with setting up or securing an operating system. This is done in a way that is not at all friendly to business or advanced users. Any app software runs in a sandbox, but they have a lot of freedom inside the sandbox to collect and farm data.
Like you may hear people from google and apple talk about privacy, but they never include themselves. They are the primary digital stalkers farming and selling everything they collect. From that perspective, they are the final alpha boss virus.
