Yes, hence my agreement with sillywalk. In my original comment I was thinking of the category of PC-like things which are more geared towards work and phones which are more limited.

Phones don’t have as much contrast because there are several vendors approaching Apple’s level of security, whereas on the classic PC side it’s just a mess. ChromeOS is an excellent addition to the comparison since it’s more locked down than a PC but still productive for many workers and really shows that the problem is coordination. Google cares about security and their ChromeOS devices are more secure than most PCs despite having a lot in common because they don’t leave it to the whims of the hardware vendor.
