@ataraxia937 Much of the malware is pre-installed at time of purchase. #DefaultsMatter, most people are not able to judge whether they can or should remove something that's mildly hidden on their device. So it stays.

So, while the user has some amount of agency, it is over-estimated. Many people have a lot less effective choice.
