This is a succinct explanation of the problem. Do we give the vast majority of users extremely easy, frictionless access to very high levels of security and privacy? Or do we give the vast majority of users a fundamentally insecure solution that with lots of learning and configuring and time can be have very very very high levels of security and privacy?
The crazy thing is that apple hardware beats most other hardware, too, at a high price. Better phones, better tablets, better laptops. More secure, more private OS than the popular consumer alternatives (Windows, Android). Arguably much better OS all around, too (at least IMO -- iOS beats even stock Pixel Android at use-ability, MacOS v Windows is like the Harlem Globetrotters playing the Washington Generals.)
