Yeah so there are few dozens of ways people are getting spammed, why not lets add more ways. Here's an Idea let me write a blog post on how to make windows look cooler and ask my 12YO user to point me to their windows directory and let me use my API to inject my DLLs, none of the defenders of this API are not estimating the level of social engineering, and how dumb users can be, and also the reason why Android failed in terms of privacy.

You forgot to read the part where they will block certain directories, and your 12 year old could easily install malware or give out his password, and Android did't fail in terms of privacy. Apple has failed by locking you into a closed-source ecosystem. Android is open source and has a lot of options, and a lot of open source apps you can review yourself and pick the best cryptography algorithms for password management, etc.
