Unfortunately it seems with the data we have from apple emails it’s little no difference

Can you summarize that email?
I was simply saying that some bad apps do sneak through Apple's app review process. We know this.
But downloading apps from a sketchy website that has NO review is a recipe for disaster.
The next popular Candy Crush style game could be sideload-only and be full of identify-stealing code with nobody checking it.
Basically... yes the app store has faults... but the unchecked web is much worse.
