Well, there is the issue of security. While the app stores are also far from perfect on that issue, it’s still better than the Wild West given the sheer number of apps they have to do deal with. Then there’s also the issue of hosting and deploying the client app. Convenience has a cost
If you think content moderation in app and play store are good and thus there is no scam there, there is no data I can show you to change your opinion, this is pure fate-based.
The web does not have an entry portal like an app store so nobody gets malicious websites pushed to them. If that is not the definition of much safer, I don't know what do you guys expect.
Yes, but there’s also less moderators filter out and block malicious websites. It goes both ways. Give and take. The www is more free, but to say that it’s safer is disingenuous.
