Is essentially a gun control debate. Windows (the gun,) is benign on its own and millions of people can safely use it. However, in the wrong hands, it can enable dangerous behaviors and undesirable outcomes. MacOS simply has much stronger trigger locks.



Piracy is still a major threat to security on MacOS


By definition, a gun is not begnin.


I would wager most guns get fired a very small amount of times.

If you take those away, of the rest, I'd wager the overwhelming majority is used for sports and hunting.

So, not sure about that. You might have the right claim, but the "by definition" might be too much


The same could be said of nuclear weapons.

A weapon is by definition madr to cause harm, so it is not benign.

Even hunting is not a benign act at all, which is why you need training and have a lot of regulation regarding how you can practice it.
