On the contrary, as someone who has worked with both platforms as a developer, this is my personal opinion:
- Around a lot of things software, including the Play Store, Google’s safety and security, for all its ads, tracking and shenanigans, are real, largely verifiable, discussed openly, and pretty fucking robust (not to mention, most of it are actually open).
- Apple’s? Smoke and mirrors! Essentially some vague shit which often ludicrously boils down to Safest Shit Ever On an iPhone™ (and doesn’t go further than that) and never discussed or even offered a glimpse of.

iOS exploits are worth the same as Android ones.
An iPhone user is typically from a rich country, like US or Japan, an Android user is typically from India or China. Here's 10x wealth difference.
Add to this the fact the iPhone users are dumber and more prone to expoits, so of course hackers would rather focus on App Store.
