   Hi 7,   
      
   Happy New Year!   
      
   I'm aware Apple "says" it's for security, so in that way I agree with you.   
      
   But as you likely may know, there's no more security on iOS than Android.

   So it's not really "for security" so it must be for some other reason.   
   But what?   
      
   Security is often used by Apple as a socially acceptable explanation that   
   avoids saying why they do it, so we have to dig deeper to find out why.   
      
   Since only iOS does it (as far as I'm aware), could it be a rather subtle   
   form of ecosystem reinforcement perhaps, keeping you tied to the system?   
   --   
   Without testing iOS, people who use it will never understand how it works.
