- iOS's track record on vulnerabilities in comparison to Android.
- Apple's track record of virtually no malware appearing in the App Store.
- How hard it's been for the community to devise a series of exploits to jailbreak iOS with each new release.
- iOS's nice privacy controls that are lacking on Android (App Ops is not official, convenient, or even present in the latest Android releases. And sure there's third party things, but those are 3rd party, and half of them are from China). Privacy controls in Android counter Google's bottom line.
- iOS's app permissions model in comparison to the awful current capabilities and culture around broad app permissions in Android (although Google is reacting to this well with improvements in the pipeline). For an awakening view of this, watch what information of yours the Facebook app can get ahold of in Android as opposed to on iOS.
For now, yes. Like most things (e.g. Chromecast SDK) they don't speculate until the release is complete.
>The current UI is definitely not something that is appropriate for end users; it is mostly for platform engineers (a tool for examining, debugging, and testing the state of that part of the system), maybe some day for third party developers. In what form these features might be available in the regular UI I couldn’t really speculate about.
