The price of an open computing platform is that you spend time learning to maintain it.

The price of not having to learn is that you give up control to someone else. A manufacturer. An IT department.

Can't trust manufacturers. They push things to the device that break them. Can't trust app manufacturers either: they "share" information to marketers; this breaches your privacy.

Those who can do so ought to offer "family CISO" services. Like the 'family doctor' or the 'family accountant', they should be hirable by a family to manage their information security needs.

"The price of not having to learn is that you give up control to someone else"

Some people don't see that as a 'cost', which is what many people in the tech industry don't understand at all.

And those people are ripe for exploitation. So it goes.
