Those same security nerds have been doing both on FLOSS operating systems (BSD, GNU/Linux) for years, so that point is irrelevant to the original discussion.

Which is not the same at all with having thousands of proprietary third-party apps to distribute in closed source form (as opposed to having control of some open source repo with redistribution and re-compile/modify etc) right.

So your point is even more irrelevant to the original discussion.

What are you talking about? Nothing about app signing and sandboxing requires open-source repositories.
