That's a fallacious argument. The "famous guy's" saying isn't comparable to protecting the average consumer's expectation of having a consumer device that won't leak all of his private info by clicking an "update" or link that is actually a phishing lure.
I don't even own or like Android or iOS devices, but I have kids and a wife who do and it's irritating to know that they are vulnerable and it's why I am moving them to iOS ASAP.
The primary job of an OS is to train future programmers? Gee, and here I was thinking it was to facilitate the function of the device for the consumer.
mall cops and the Chinese Army special crack commando squads. After all, the Segway was designed to move able-bodied people ridiculously at walking speeds, so the next logical step (no pun intended) would be to outfit able-bodied mall cops, et al. with mechanical walking apparatus.

Ballmer and out-of-control, boy-billionaire eccentricities including management implementations, R&D based on petty jealousies and magical thinking are to blame for MS' slow, steady decline. Stick a fork in MS, it's done insofar as stock value as far as staking its entire hopes for the future on legacy Windows and Office market bases.

I make a nice piece of change off of CL and have found lots of good things there, too. I think it's one of the few business models that is innocuous and beneficial and they should be left alone by predators and usurpers like those extension sites.
Good on you, Apple and all those who live in glass and stainless steel houses who can afford to keep buying the beautiful and sleek Apple hardware on which to run Mountain Lion, but remember: we all are reading and looking at the same crapilly-written web content, inane YouTube videos and amateurish blogs that you do on our machines.
There's your problem right there as to why no one has bothered. It's like that old joke - ".... second prize is two weeks in Cleveland, Ohio and the grand prize is one week in Cleveland, Ohio!"
