As someone already pointed out it's a lost game regardless of platform as long as closed source software is used on any machine anywhere it's fundamentally unsafe. Black market operators like Israel's Pegasus have been selling ios day 0 exploits for years and there are probably hundreds that exist out there for every single platform.
The good part is that these rare exploits will not be used on you because they are too valuable the bad part is that the only way against them is full system transparency which is not happening anytime soon.
