   Why do zealots claim that Apple is incapable of finding safety & security   
   flaws in macOS/iOS apps? (See reference cites in the sig for proof.)   
      
   The fact is Apple touts that people using their products are safe & secure.   
   Because of the way Apple does things.   
   Right?   
      
   Today, the Apple religious zealots said that Apple has no control over the   
   safety & security of millions of macOS & iOS apps used by Apple consumers.   
      (See references in the sig.)   
      
   These zealots claim only researchers can find flaws in iOS/macOS apps.   
   Not Apple.   
      
   WTF?   
   That makes no logical sense.   
      
   a. Apple provides safety & security, yet,   
   b. Apple can't possibly provide safety & security.   
      
   Pick one please for God's sake you strange religious zealots.   
      
   You can't say in one breath that Apple's ecosystem provides safety &   
   security and in the next breath you say it's impossible to have safety and   
   security when apps are developed in Apple's ecosystem (XCode/CocoPods).   
      
   Why do these zealots claim Apple is incompetent at safety & security?   
   (And in the next breath, they tout Apple claims safety & security?)   
      
   Makes no sense.   
      
   In one breath, the zealots claim the Apple ecosystem provides the users   
   safety & security in their apps - but in the next breath - they claim that   
   safety & security of macOS/iOS apps uses by billions of people isn't   
   Apple's responsibility and - they claim - is beyond Apple's capability.   
      
   The logical question to ask, given Apple touts safety & security, is...   
      
   Q: If researchers can find these flaws in millions of iOS/macOS apps...   
      *then why can't Apple?*   
   A: ?   
      
   See the references in the sig where the zealots claim Apple is incompetent.   
   But I give Apple more credit than the zealots do.   
      
   Apple doesn't care about safety & security; but Apple could provide it.
