Apple's control-freakery is making the Internet of Shit shittier

The number of viruses and worms that target Macs is quite significantly higher than the number that target my own favored systems*. So that’d be one way I could go with that.

The reason there is more windows and android malware, which I think is what you are referring to, is economic - the larger target draws more fire, because it offers more return on investment. I would not criticize anyone for using their money to take advantage of this situation, and it can be a wise choice for a person in the right income and skill brackets.

That is a factually false statement on several levels. First, I did not make any statement establishing any equivalency as you proposed, and I certainly reject it, so your claim wouldn’t have any meaning even if the prices were similar. Second, the prices are not similar. As noted, a $50 Nokia windows smart phone permits cell communication, web browsing, email, and all other necessary pocket computing functions. Androids go for as low as $3 US, I am told, but I have never seen one for less than $5.

* I had to add the “Favored” qualifier since I run about a dozen OSes and I don’t like several of them.
