Every software has vulnerabilities, that's not the point. Your own links show android has more critical vulnerabilities in the period posted. The zero day are the worst. It was your point; is the point.Well for me I don't put any trust in any. I know both google and apple are software enterprises. And there are always bugs/vulnerabilities when three are millions of lines of code at play. And both platforms can't escape from these nasties even though they have implemented their security measures.
To say one o/s is safer than the other is just naive. The cve data showed that iOS is also full of vulnerabilities. Plus iOS also has its fair share of exploits like the icloud photo leaks, xcodeghost, location info leaks, emoji text crash etc.
Lesson is the most secure os becomes insecure depending on the action of the user. e.g jail break iOS or side load apps in android or ignoring certain basic security etiquette. If users don't do all these then both o/s platforms should be "secure enough" for any usage scenario.
Further to the point you are now making except for Internet talking points I do not believe anyone care about crash rates either.
