The true snake oil is to pave the way for malware to have pleasant
 journey.

I have not said it will prevent the installation. OTOH, the
 malware will not prevent its detection.

Majority of Android malware does not care about vulnerable code.
Users install it themselves.

The weakest part of Linux
is a part  of its user base.

Most of them come from official repositories.
