There is a big difference between a Windows platform and Android - on the Android platform the user is not admin.

In Windows, historically speaking, the user has always had all rights to the OS and hardware access because Microsoft took two decades to start understanding that that was not a good idea. So yeah, on a PC a lot of malware is there because of Microsoft, not always because of the user.
