Erm... I forgot I was in a place where preemptively apologizing for making a joke isn't enough for people to think you're joking.
I would like to point out though, that the text you just copied are pretty much apple's only words on the topic.
To further my joke even more:
Google search for "easy" on apple.com [1] returns 3.3 million results.
Google search for "secure" on apple.com [2] returns .5 million results.
On the internet easy returns 3.6 billion results, and secure 1.25 billion. So on the apple site, you would expect easy to show up 3 times as much as secure. In fact, easy shows up over 6 times as much as secure.
This definitely proves apple cares about security only half as much as the rest of the internet does!
I downvoted not because you joked, but because you made patently untrue claims and then backed them up with a very poor methodology. So poor that you can't simultaneously be smart enough to read and understand this site and dumb enough to think it's logical to argue this way.
I wasn't talking about the downvotes, that's to be expected. I was talking about the humorless replies :)
If we all acted our IQs, all the time, the world would be a very boring place. It's not responsible to buy myself expensive toys, it's not respectable to be sarcastic. Yet we do it anyway.
Trolling is meant to make people angry, I meant to to get a chortle out of at least somebody... but now I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this is not the site for that. Thank you for helping me realize it.
Joking is fine -- as long as you make a point and contribute to the discussion. Throwing out some one-liner about Apple security is not a valuable contribution, and then yes, your jokes weren't funny either.
