following that logic, you don't allow your family to be near a desktop computer, do you? all those third party programs not approved by your OS distributor surely are scary.

It's not like installing third party apps in Android is something someone can do by mistake. You have to specifically enable it in the options and allow it for the app that acted as a source.

Most users never do this and use the Play Store just fine, which is neither more secure or insecure than the Apple Store.
