Tbh my mom doesn't even understand how to install an app from the app store. And she comes running for everything that she is not used to. I am not concerned that she would download anything from outside. But I do get your point that many people are incapable of evaluating what aoftware is trustworthy (and hell you cant always know there is a risk even with open source software that seems trustworthy unless you actually read all the source code, which I very rarely do and only for small programs or small parts of programs). However I do not think it is Apple's responsibility or right to be the guardian here.
