Actual security / privacy person here. The iOS ecosystem is much much much worse than people currently think of it as. This is primarily due to adware SDKs and in-app browsers that Apple has done absolutely nothing to address.

The average person is literally never encountering malware on either platform.

		This depends on if you count adware as malware, and where you draw the line of spyware. For me personally, I think both the App Store and Play Store are mostly malware. Ironically, third party stores like f-droid have the least amount of malware.
