There's secure by default, and then there's stuff users can't override even with great effort. Android restricts some dangerous operations by default and makes users jump through a couple hoops to acknowledge the risk. iOS usually forbids them entirely.

Yep agreed that this would be a better approach. I think this is where iOS uses security as an excuse to maintain their walled garden.
