No, they're not. And by saying that, you're proven why the "fight" will also result in the other side winning. Ignorant, pedantic, arrogant, and entitled technical people vs the rest.

99.9% of scams on Android/iOS happen by making people install remote assistance apps from... the "100% safe" app stores. So, no, you're completely wrong.

Of course they are edge cases. How many people do you think install third-party apps on Android? Pretty sure hardly anyone does that.

Also, Windows works pretty well with software from third-party sources, or would you forbid them in Windows as well? Sure, there are the occasional crypto scams which disable a hospital here and there, but this can arguably be prevented by not giving non-admins admin permissions.
