I'm sitting here with mac/linux/windows machines, and both iphones/android phones.......

What malware laden third party bullshit are you talking about? The stuff that is approved by Apple to be in the iOS App Store can be pretty heavily ridden with ads - especially the kind that pop open the App Store to show you a page selling their crappy app. But since there's no way to install system-wide app blocker on an iphone you kinda have to deal with it.

I haven't had to deal with malware on any platform in a very very long time.

It would be nice if I could run proper firefox with proper ublock origin on my iphone though.

None. No malware-laden third-party bullshit, because that's just a straw man. If the GP doesn't want third-party app stores, there's a very simple solution to that: Don't install them on your phone.
