If you look at macOS, you see that even apps not installed through the app store need to be signed from apple in order to not trigger a big ass warning. Apple on it’s own proofs that the security aspect is not an argument. Edit: I think windows does this as well to some degree

Windoss doesn't do jack shit, that defender crap will block good cracked apps but won't block actual malware. No wonder windows has bad rep about about virus, security etc

This just isn’t true. Defender is pretty much all you need to prevent malware these days.

Yes, cracks and such are also caught up in them, but that’s true of virtually every antivirus.
