I think it's important to note that the corruption you point out isn't just affecting OSX and *nix users, it also affects Windows users as well, and has been for years. Granted, there are WAY more actual security flaws in Windows than should be, but the same FUD applies. These businesses make the bulk of their money on the subscription service. They churn out updates on an almost daily basis, and threaten you with vulnerability if you don't renew the suscription. They embed with almost any system you can buy, and immediately subscription notices start poking up. Then, if you uninstall their app and choose to go with a free one, Windows will likely not recognize it as an anti-whatever app, and continually flag you for it. So, what is my 74 yo father-in-law going to do? He's going to continue to shell out for the subscription, providing himself with a false sense of security and providing the security companies the reason for their business model.
