    And this is why a reasonable person doesn’t intentionally install malware on their phones.

      A well informed, technicality litterate, reasonable person wouldn’t.

      Many reasonable people start/keep using those products. All of this is somewhat obvious for tech hobbyist. Others may not be fully aware or the risk, or don’t consider they’re particularily at risk. The norm is to use those services and apps. There is strong peer pressure to use those service to stay connected with people and organisations.

      There’s a need for more or at least better education around being safe online, and protecting personal data. An education that’s free of big tech influence/sponsoring.
