Apple's App protection is analogous to running anti-virus software

My reasoning for this analogy is that all "legitimate" applications
are "tested" by Apple and therefore "safe" for users to run and do
not unduly open them to "malware" or hacking. Since the function of
evasi0n is to always report any app as approved, if the user installs
an app that is malware, there is no protection for the device. i.e.
it is the users responsibility to ensure they do not install malware
apps on their device. No different than "super" users who decide to
operate their computers / devices with no form of anti-malware
protection.
I disagree here - antiviruses block only malware or programs they suspect
is a malware. Apple blocks everything, but programs they have tested.
Note that main reason why computers are so popular, used at people's homes,
offices and mobile offices is that there was NOT someone who wanted to check
everything.
Yes, malware is a problem but it's not a proplem that should be solved like
apple does.
