I've been thinking a lot about this as it relates to the "fake news" trend. Journalists have been using real information to lead people to wrong conclusions. Now we are very concerned about political sites using false information to lead people to wrong conclusions. Fake facts are bad but using facts to mislead people does damage to people's trust as well.

If they emphasized that no app is secure if the phone itself is compromised I wouldn't hae a problem with it. By calling out specific apps it could cause someone to switch to a less secure alternative not mentioned.
