The more used OS will always have more people looking for ways to break it. Same shit happened with windows and Mac. The old picture of the house in the city with bars on the windows vs a house in the country with unlocked doors still applies.

The only vulnerabilities you even really need to worry about are zero days which won't be in the threat tracking databases.

Right but that’s a contributing factor to iOS’ strength

Their risk surface isn’t massive…

Their App Store is on a tighter leash too so less risk there and less opportunities for persistence/c2 activity which encourages and enables further vuln discovery and valuable data mining on devices

I’m confused what you’re arguing here
