Replace "macbook" with "iphone" and have the computer smart nephew jailbreak and install shit on it and the result is the same.

At the end of the day, virtually any hardware you hand over to a user they will be able to break past its security.

Yes, and? The question asked was "how would a person [wind up with sketchy software installed] if it is behind a security toggle?". The answer I gave was that not every person that uses tech makes the decisions about setting it up, and that officially sanctioned routes imply support costs regardless of any disclaimers. Are you saying that if Apple had an official ability to root the OS that the number of people who wind up with unknowingly rooted would be the exact same as there are now when the only way to do that is with a jailbreak?
