"The rest of us" is a small group of people. Willing to sacrifice the needs of majority for your own benefit is a biased take.

People need to learn how to use computers without installing malware. In almost every other field, it's normal and expected that people learn how to operate the tools properly; if they don't, then it is their fault. For some reason, technology has ended up different, and we dumb things down endlessly. I am tired of it.

    Phones are not designed to be a specialized tool of a field. They are gadgets designed for a general audience of billions of people.

    Because with computers there is a lot of freedom in how things can be made to work without adding extra cost to the product. They can be designed to be user friendly.

      Cars, knifes, power tools, and a million other things are also designed for a general audience of billions of people. And if you do not learn or use these responsibly you'll end up with a lot worse outcomes than getting some malware on your phone.
