My point was that unfortunately that only means ~15% of currently active
Android devices are fairly safe and Bob’s comment, while brief, was fair as far
as it was concerned. Once Android hits iOS’s ~85% active devices on latest
version of the os, then it wouldn’t be. I just don’t think that will happen
anytime soon because of the way the OS is rolled out through 3rd parties for
the most part.
Actually, I was trying to make the opposite point -- Google Play
Services is now on (at least) 93% of all Android devices. It runs on any
Android regardless of manufacturer or customized OS, provided the device
is authorized to access the Google Play Store. It's had over 5 billion
downloads and is, among other things, the security layer.

It isn't only the "Google-made" phones that are protected, it's almost
all of them now.
