Well, what does one say about this? Only thing I can think of (and I know it doesn't really belong here but...) all the Microsoft bashers out there. There's security issues in ever OS out there. MS gets bashed constantly for their security holes but they patch them as soon as they come to light. Or, pretty much so anyway. Then they get bashed for all the updates the have to do. We on Android get nothing. Security hole discovered, never see an update. Why no Android bashers? I don't get it.

I'm pretty loyal to the Android platform more for its open source nature.
But in all truth, your point is a good one. As long as the developers of all of these OS's are human.. they will be flawed.
That said.... its still fun to bash Apple!
