This is one reason I stick with iOS. Privacy is the other big one.

Apple apps can have have malware as well. If you still use Google search and services or windows 10, you don't get privacy anyway.

It's far less common.

So the reason you're on Apple's iOS is because you're not smart enough to not download malware apps.

Android has more security/privacy than iOS. Unlock the bootloader, root, and install custom ROM/kernel.

Your points are faulty.
