When talking about profits this should be expected. It has nothing to do with Android being crap, it has everything to do with it commoditizing the entire OS aspect of a phone. Phone SALES are dominated by Android, 80%+ of the phone market.

...and I wouldn’t hang on to iOS being very good with privacy either, it has as many security vulnerabilities being reported monthly as do others.

Vulnerabilities do not translate to EXPLOITS, fuzzy. There is a big difference. Look for the actual exploits.

There are several million actual exploits in the wild on Android and the number that have broken into the wild on iOS are countable on the fingers of ONE HAND.

The real problem with Android is security updating and OS updating.

iOS users are typically running the latest update. In fact, right now, over 75% of Apple iOS users are on iOS 11. That means the iOS users are patched to the latest and greatest security available. . . and fewer than 5% on running an iOS version lower than iOS 10.

On the other hand, Android users are not. Android, not so much. Less than 5% of Android users are on Android 8, Oreo, and in fact only half a percent are on Android 8.1, the latest version. The vast majority of Android users are on Android 6 and 7, but 23% are still on Android 5! Almost 16% are on Android versions lower than that! How can these users be kept up-to-date on security to protect them from malware, much less patch vulnerabilities, Fuzzy?
