That's a bit of a surprising postulation.

If there's a reputation, that means it's reasonably widespread. 5% doesn't seem like much.

Does this mean there are so many advanced users sideloading apps to compromise them?

Except users aren't so advanced that they are getting scammed because of side loading?

Or might it be the cascading delays in security updates that don't seem to reach devices between Google, manufacturers, and telcos? This is a much more massive (the 95%) of security hole and backdoors for scams to enter.

These arguments don't really seem to fit together or make sense.

Happy to get some links to read more about all of the statements.
