Folk complain that Microsoft made Windows too open to abuse, viruses and hackers. Yet every time they add another layer of security, folk whine! It's not like it's rocket science to reopen the vulnerability just so you dont have to make one or two more mouse clicks. And since Apple has similar, if slightly less invasive, blocks on installing stuff without express permission, then you are being just a hair disingenuous ... IMHO :-) Oh come on.
