How Apple's locked down security gives extra protection to the best hackers

Is there meant to be an argument in there that Android phones would somehow be less susceptible to an APT exploit like Pegasus than iPhones are...?
Because I'm not finding it.
My takeaway at this point is that if you're really worried about your mobile device security, buy the dumbest Nokia you can lay your hands on.

I don't infer that at all.
This is the only time 'Android' is mentioned in the above article:
//
It’s just not Apple, says Aaron Cockerill, chief strategy officer at the mobile security firm Lookout: "Android is increasingly locked down. We expect both Macs and ultimately Windows will increasingly look like the opaque iPhone model."

I never said that you did, I asked essentially what the takeaway here was supposed to be, while wondering why it singled out Apple.
Yes, Android is "increasingly locked down", for the same good and substantial reasons the iOS App Store is.
Someone must have had a deadline under threat or something, the existence of this article is otherwise inexplicable.
