    This is a bit of a fallacious point in this context - it suggests:

    • apps will be investigated by its users (not guaranteed, nor even likely for unpopular apps)
    • an app will even have users capable of detecting malware (I don’t know squat about phone malware patterns, so I wouldn’t be effective at it even if I did scan through thousands of lines of code)
