Chris, you are drifting into a false equivalence.
When an organization "chooses" iOS or Android as its primary platform, that
decision doesn't automatically translate into a blanket statement about one
being "way more secure" than the other.
Platform selection is influenced by a mix of factors such as procurement,
ecosystem fit, device management tooling, existing infrastructure,
operational needs, and yes, sometimes specific security requirements.
But it's never going to be a single-variable equation.
That's why pointing to the IDF's platform choice as proof of your claim is
misleading. The IDF did not say "iOS is way more secure," and you're
stretching their decision far beyond what was actually stated. Plenty of
governments, militaries, and high-security organizations around the world
standardize on hardened Android builds for their own locally valid reasons.
If you want to argue that iOS is categorically "more secure" than Android,
that's a separate debate, and one that already has its own thread, because
it's not supported by the example you're using.

I'm different than most posters here, not only because I'm extremely
well informed & well educated, but because I can understand complexity.
