Apple doesn't block everything but what they have tested. What does that mean?

My reasoning for this analogy is that all "legitimate" applications are "tested" by Apple and therefore
"safe" for users to run and do not unduly open them to "malware" or hacking. Since the function of evasi0n is
to always report any app as approved, if the user installs an app that is malware, there is no protection for the device. i.e. it
is the users responsibility to ensure they do not install malware apps on their device. No different than "super" users
who decide to operate their computers / devices with no form of anti-malware protection.
I disagree here - antiviruses block only malware or programs they suspect
is a malware. Apple blocks everything, but programs they have tested.
Note that main reason why computers are so popular, used at people's homes,
offices and mobile offices is that there was NOT someone who wanted to check
everything.
Yes, malware is a problem but it's not a proplem that should be solved like
apple does.

Basically it means that you have get your applications from the App
Store and all programs have to be approved by Apple to be sold in the store.
