Seriously however, a lot of these problems would go away if people just spent a minute thinking, instead of indulging in knee-jerk reactions.

Since they have to either be using third party app stores already against every recommendation from reputable publications, or follow a list of instructions to enable installation from unknown sources (which in turn triggers dire warnings from the OS), I would say that anybody infected by this has to have spent considerably more than a minute thinking about it. Crap decision making certainly, but they are thinking about it.
