> Well, evolution doesn't always mean improvement.

I think you mean: evolution doesn't always mean _adding things_. Taking away something that causes a net loss is evolution. Much like, say, the tail in certain higher primates. Or the ability to install and run absolutely anything (including malware, trojans, and viruses).

(Whether a thing causes a net gain or loss is its own entire argument, of course.)
